Hi Ben,
ReplyDeleteThe HAYATT sounds like an "OASIS IN THE DESERT."
Thanks for your continuous vivid running comments. Your MOM & DAD are coming to NJ Sunday since the Yazdians are visiting with a large entourage of 7 people; Rick, Jill, and the kids will also attend for BRUNCH before going back to Nashville. SNOW is coming back this coming week with a vengeance. Looking forward to your next posting.
Love from Grandma & Grandpa
Hey Ben,
ReplyDeleteOMG, Can I just comment upon how jealous I am that you are going to be around for the color festival? My friend told me about that years ago and I was amazzeeedd/entranced and I want to go play too. You better get those kids back.
