Ok, so me and the toilet bowl cleaner aren’t getting along too well right now. Each time I try to go clean toilets, I can’t find the stuff. It is really bugging me. I go buy new stuff, and then I can’t find it either. I even …

Here are the rest of our pictures from the Adventure. Enjoy!

Here’s the first batch of pictures from the trip. We didn’t remember to take very many (too much driving will do that to you, I think), so they are kind of sporadic and random. There are more to come, though, so keep watching.
