Road Trip!

I apologize for not having a lot of reviews lately, but I promise I have some coming up soon! Have a great weekend!

My sister managed to take a blurry photo from her screen. I wish it was more clear, but you can see how happy she is there.  First stop was dim sum! My parents took us to this awesome place called New Lake Pavilion. It ...
