traveling over the mid-bay bridge to my DESTINation.

when i arrived in florida i got to see my sister-in-law Leah's dental office, hung out there for a few minutes, and drove fifteen minutes more to my home for the next few weeks. it's great! had a nice dinner with leah and friends at the melting pot, and the next morning, leah made eggs for us (pictured below)! this is the life!
