We had morning of rafting yesterday. The river wasn’t very fast, but the area we were in was beautiful! I even jumped in for a swim. It threatened to rain all day and did occasionally, but we decided to take a drive to Canyonlands anyway rather than stay in the room and we are so…

Doug and I have been talking about taking in the Cherry Blossom Festival for the past couple of years.

As luck would have it, I got free tickets to a Celtics game this past Wednesday and the seats were incredible! It was just a case of being in the right place at the right time at work and actually being able to go. That’s us sitting in our seats about five rows back. I’ve…
