We’ve been a little behind in updating the travel blog because we’ve been devoting more time to some of our other interests on the interwebs! In this “little” recap I’ll go back and tell you where you can find what we’ve been working on lately, details about our next adventure and what travel we’ve done in the last year! So, in the words of P!nk, let’s get this party started!

Well our traveling, as with the posting on the site, has been quite sparse during this time, but last weekend we took a tiny roadtrip down to St. Louis to spend a few days with our friends and check out some of the sights.
