The Week’s End

We kicked off the weekend with celebration, enjoying a yummy meal – and drinks, lots of them – organized by my better half  (I’ll be turning thirty this week!). Of course it only made sense to continue our Friday fiesta with a Saturday of Cinco de Derby, somehow ending the evening in a friendly push…

The Week’s End
