A Conference in San Diego

This trip was for Jim’s work! Jim attends an annual conference that was in San Diego this year, and a lot of the wives go along on this trip. He asked me maybe a year ago if I would join him on this one, and of course I said yes. It was five whole daysContinue reading “A Conference in San Diego”
