  • Our Valentine’s Day

    Rather than being like most sheep, Caitlin and I decided to forgo gift giving and instead went on a 10.2 mile scamper through DC. You know, spending time together rather than spending money on each other… It was a hit. We left our house, made our way through Ballston, on to Custis Trail, on to
