My family had been across the street in movie theater a couple weeks before this occurred.

On a warm fall day Willy Harrison, sat building a campfire waiting for his grandchildren to arrive. Today he planned to tell them the story that they had been waiting to hear since they last met.

Day 1 I recently went on a trip to Europe with my mom, dad, brother, grandma, and grandpa. It was like living out the movie National Lampoon’s European Vacation but with two more people. I experienced a lot of cool and funny stuff throughout the trip and took some pretty cool pictures. So, I thought why not share the experience with you all?
