Our last night we took in a National's game.
It was hot and sticky and expensive, but all part of the adventure :)

My dear Family... thank you for joining me on this grand adventure. I've been wanting to take this trip for a long time now. I can't believe it's already come and gone.
On to the next Bucket-List wish!

I love you all so much!

More to come at the end of summer :)
