Oh, and me and my bud climbed 14 flights of stairs to our hotel room in Little Rock. Also, went down them twice, but that was nothing compared to the upward direction. 😅

A staircase with multiple flights is viewed from above, showing a dizzying downward perspective and a person wearing sneakers.

Left Monday on a family trip to Branson, MO. Stayed a night in Little Rock, AR on the way. Did a little walking and exploring at the Arkansas State Capitol after dinner. Excellent way to stretch our legs after 6-ish hours in the truck.

Just powered up 14 flights of stairs with my bud. Will probably be sore tomorrow.

Soaked up some sun this afternoon ☀️💛

Spent Valentine’s Day at a Mardi Gras parade with friends. Gumbo and good times were had.

(Shifted plans last minute to do our tradition of homemade heart pizzas tonight instead of last night…and looking forward to it!)

Remembering to thaw meat from the freezer for dinner is a skill I’m still trying to improve.

We’re going to see a friend in a junior play version of Frozen tomorrow. And my kids knew very little about it. So, here we are. Fitting on this cold Louisiana day.
