My parents decided to take a spontaneous weekend trip to the Adirondacks. Kind of like “a last family camping trip.” But knowing that I’d desperately want Adam there, they invited him to join us. 🙂 My aunt and uncle joined us as well. The weekend was filled with kayaking, cliff jumping, rope swings, swimming, bonfires, […]
