We've always tried to celebrate graduations with a trip. With the high school graduations, it was an attempt at one last family vacation, although our youngest got his graduation trip alone with us because brother and sister …
The Accidental Traveler
I'm not a very good traveler. I get super stressed over the packing, the flights, the drives. If there is turbulence, heaven help my seatmate-even if it is my hubby, who knows to expects me to squeeze his hand more tightly …
Philadelphia Update
