The best laid plans almost went awry today. Repeatedly. Today's plan was to make an 8:30AM session at the new Sacramento temple, meet Vanessa and The Other Shauna in Placerville for Z'pie, and then head over to the Swift's reception at 7PM.

When we travel out of town, one of the most exciting things for us is eating really good food from really good restaurants. Our last trip to Vegas was entirely centered around what restaurants we planned to eat at. Our upcoming trip to Sacramento (this weekend, kiddies) already has us booking up lunches and dinners […]
