Some guy named Cid. What a great way to start a story. Since I’m all about correct time keeping on this blog, I thought I’d jump right into the middle of my most recent trip to London with my family. One of the very few places that was on my Dad’s “must-do” list was to […]
Babysitters
No. Not pregnant. And yes, there are still many blog posts to come about my London adventures. But first, a funny story. A few months back Adam and I were joined by my family in New Orleans for a long weekend of fun. Fittingly this fun started at Pat O’Brien’s to partake in a New […]
