Flying to DC (7-15-18)
I have to say it’s been about 10 or 12 years since I’ve been on a vacation. Gone somewhere with the full intention of doing nothing but enjoying myself, exploring, and taking time to disconnect from the struggles of the daily grind and reconnect with the simple things that make life worth living.
