trip to ARIZONA to visit the fam: Aug 3-6

Last month, my parents moved to Phoenix where my dad took a new job as a legal advisor for the Dept. of Veteran Affairs. Last weekend, I took a two-hour flight to visit them. Daniel was there visiting before heading back to West Point, and Jonathan and Jessica decided to hop over from Texas. So it was a spontaneous Romaneski reunion. The four days were packed with activities like swimming in their backyard pool, eating great food, laughing, and seeing the sights of the Supersition Mountains, the Salt River, a genuine ghost town, the Grand Canyon, and Sedona. It was such a gift from God to be able to all be together and have such a great time. I took TONS of photos (the scenery was so pretty!), but here are some highlights:



welcome to the gun show.
