TTT: June 7th, 1996

Introducing Time Travel Tuesdays
In the summer of 1996, after graduating college, thanks to my mother’s support and encouragement, I had the opportunity to travel through Western Europe for a full two months as a graduation gift before hitting the “real” world and settling into a full-time job. This summer will be 20 years since that amazing, life altering […]
