Thanks to the generosity of others, we were able to have a nice spring break vacation together in San Antonio, TX. Our lodging and airfare were covered. We enjoyed visiting with some new friends, lots of good food, time with Marcus’ old college friends, floating the river and much more!

Spring break is almost here and we are all ready for some down time, time away from work and school and some travel to warmer weather.  We will be spending part of spring break at home and part of it just north of San Antonio, Texas. We vacation well together […]
