Our friends Roy and Marci have recently moved with their family to Kalamazoo Michigan due to Roy’s work. We came to visit them and spend the weekend relaxing, eating and drinking while the kids were away. It was ‘adult’ time. Also, word to the wise; Beergaritas are not a good idea if you have any [...]
