Happy Memorial Day! It's an overcast day up here in Lake Tahoe (we've been getting some much needed rain), and I'm taking a break from my frenzy of wedding planning to remember why we don't have to go to work today, and get to eat burgers, drink too many margaritas and get 20% off at our favorite stores instead.

HAPPY FRIDAY!View Article
