Family Weekend
So thankful for the weekend I was able to have with my family before I left for the week.

We went apple picking, to the pumpkin regatta parade, played on theContinue reading “Family Weekend”

It’s Racers Rec Room which is basically going to be a place you can book parties and race on a large six lane slot car track.Continue reading “New Project Idea”
