Straight Trippin’

July 18th, 2023

 So to celebrate our children's accomplishments we give them something they want but would never ask for because of the extravagance, cost, or time commitment behind the request. Our youngest got a week-long trip to Tulum, Mexico for his high school graduation present. 

Emily surprised us all with custom T-shirts made by none other than Dora Flores. The trip, shirts, and flight went great, but we're not going to talk about the rental car (The Blueberry) or driving in Mexico. 😆 

Tulum was fantastic and we plan on returning, one day. Check out some pic’s from the trip. 👇🏻
