We had thought we would spend some time exploring Ann Arbor this weekend, but a combination of rain and jet lag resulted in us only really leaving the hotel for the wedding itself.

Two weeks and two cities until we're back home!

DeleteWoohoo! I was so terrified I was going to make a "typo," I had Ben cross-check me like every other stitch.
