Enjoy your vacation Mandi!!!
I can't believe you drove down there! I want to hear about the bribes! Have fun!
That sounds like a rocky start! Looks like things are going uphill from there. Have loads of fun. And what's with the cliff hanger on the $150 bribes??!
Oh, jeez, the road trip from hell! Poor Momma! So glad it's over and a lovely vacation has begun. Enjoy!!!
