To my Husband on our 16th Wedding Anniversary

The Magical Trip to St. Louis
This year for spring break, we decided to travel. We haven't done this very often. Matter of fact, the last trip we took together that wasn't to my hometown was to Boston about 3 years ago.

He doesn't like being in the car seat for a long time which extended our trip. A 6 and a half hour drive took us almost ... View the Post
