​Heading West!! It is both exciting and intimidating to finally leave the state we met in, married in, and raised our kids in, but we are finally heading west. We now have the time to get to know the states we usually just fly through. First off to George Floyd's Memorial, then over to catch up with old friends. Our Coast to Coast membership brought us to St. Croix Resort with a pool and Jacuzzi- BONUS!
