Perfect Labor Day Weekend

The long holiday weekend was just what I needed: the perfect mix of activity and relaxation. I kicked things off by heading down to Atlanta Friday for my dad’s 75th birthday celebration. He never wants to be the center of attention or have a big fuss made over his birthday, so he asked for a […]

Travel Tuesday: Notre Dame vs. Ohio State
