Our time in Mexico is starting to wind down and we are setting our sights on what comes next. But first we have a few more things we want to do so we are busy fitting them all in....
Epic Vacation
We just returned from an Epic Vacation. We went to Gilbert, Arizona; Salem, Oregon; and Bend, Oregon. Those cities aren’t usually associated with the description of “epic”, which is probably reserved for more noteworthy destinations like Rome or New...
