Go Here, Eat This with Melissa and Joey

A short slideshow which Joey narrated showing pictures of our trip to the Lake Arrowhead, CA area near Los Angeles. We rented a cozy AirBnB in the adjacent town of Twin Peaks and decided to let our friend Amy have a few days of cuddle time with Kwyjibo instead of taking him along. It was a fun, relaxing time. Of course we ate some great food too!
