The Williams Six

Brett and I celebrated 10 years of marriage in February!  Brett planned a trip to Orlando for the weekend.  We went to Universal Studios, stayed at his aunt's hotel (and got a nice hook up), ate lots of delicious food, and went to the Orlando Improv.

Caleb, after using a porta-potty for the first time (and thinking it was an outhouse): "I'm so glad I wasn't alive in the 1980s." Me: "You know we had indoor plumbing in the 1980s." Caleb: "whatever! The 1780s."
