Our epic family vacation to Michigan and Ohio has begun! We got to spend time with my awesome cousin Rachel and her family today — they took us to breakfast in Ann Arbor and we hit up Erie Orchard and Cider Mill in the afternoon. It was an awesome fall day; chilly, light rain, an amazing sky — and we had Cider & Doughnuts just like real Midwesterners! We ended the day at the Anahid’s house in Troy for an amazing dinner — we met up with my parents and Kay & Dave. Kaily, Carolyn & Hassan and Sahra and Parisa were there too, and we had everything from homemade hummus to Hassan’s homemade Persian ice cream with rosewater and saffron! In one day we logged just over 200 miles. It was a blast!

Ruby absolutely adores Dave. It’s safe to say the feeling’s mutual.
