My mom is a high school history teacher. She’s been teaching the subject for the last 25 years. Let’s just say she knows the whole Texas curriculum for each [...]

From my last post, if you guessed San Francisco (in your head because nobody posted a comment), then you are correct.
Hubby was a good boy last weekend, he surprised me on Wednesday with tickets to San Francisco. I’ve never been. I was really excited and actually had trip jitters; Isn’t that great!
