Spring(!) Awakening

Further proof that even everyday people need social media interns to stay on top of things nowadays: Last night I posted our vacation photos from March(!) to the French Riviera, Milan and Switzerland. Like many people, I've gotten into the habit of posting stories as I go along, since they're easier and take less time. But at the end of the day, with no photo albums to flip through anymore, I do like to document memorable events "on the grid," so I finally buckled down figuring if I waited any longer it wouldn't even be the same year! I blogged about the trip at the time. But if you've any interest -- it truly was spectacular -- you can find them HERE.
