Pretzels and Cheesesteaks

We celebrated President's Day Weekend with the Gonzales Family. We packed up the good ol' Altima and drove her the roughly 350 miles from Beantown to Philly in search of the perfect pretzels, cheesesteaks, and company. We did a two hour pitstop at the New Haven Ikea, where Griff literally drooled, and Tom and I figuratively drooled over the amazingly functional kitchens and swedish meatballs plate. (We are planning to put in an Ikea kitchen into 20 Willow sometime this Spring, hopefully.)
Overall, the trip was a blast. Johnny and Griffin lit up when they saw each other and it was just like old times. We laughed extremely hard, relaxed a lot, and each gained approximately 3 pounds. Here are some pics and highlights:

Together again!
