Today marks the end of a marathon run of holidays for our family.  Starting in early February, we run through a gamut of birthdays, Valentines, and anniversaries which finally concludes today with Amy’s birthday.

Well, since I’m stuck here after work doing a server upgrade… watching a text-based progress bar advance at such an agonizingly slow pace, I figured I’d go ahead and write about our wonderful trip. Suck it up boys and girls, cuz this one’s a long one… Around the end of last month(the 25th to be [...]
