Andre and Jessica

I usually like to go someplace for at least a week or two.  This spring has been busy, but I was able to take a long weekend to celebrate my good friend Andre’s wedding.

Thanks sis, for helping me out with some airline credit and thank-you Sun Country for the 4-hour fare sale that just happened to be when I bought my weekend getaway plane tickets.  It was great to see the family and celebrate Ardis’s Birthday and the wedding.

Happy Birthday Ardis

I suffered from a cold most of the weekend, but I did get out for a nice family ride to Falls Creek

The happy couple. Congratulations you two
