midwest marvels.

so we're back from the last of our june travels and, 

besides a few spats with my traveling companion

(which were admittedly due to
hormones and stupid stubbornness on my part), 

it was totally lovely...

and we are happier, a little fatter, and more satisfied for it.

some of the things that made us feel that way? 

see below.

....

two beautiful brides, especially this stunning beauty at her hindu ceremony.

dressing up fancy with captain (squints) mark.

dancing like fools. 

favorite people.

catching glimpses of wisconsin lakeshore.

2 separate bar crawls in rockford, IL; a milwaukee happy hour; and cuban food with favorite people. 

dessert with persian claire.

lots of great family time

aaaand
