Fun at Cantlers, before the bib came on. Celebrating Morgan's ordination with a dozen crabs by the river. (at Cantlers Restaurant)

Gosh we had such a great time hanging out with Lance our pastor who married us 8 years ago and his son Gabe who was our little ring bearer, who's now 14. We caught up, got some advice and ate loads of pizza. Oh and laughed! Lance's laugh hasn't changed a bit. 😋 then we went to Krispy Kreme's for some hot doughnuts, like we did in college. So glad we could see them while they were in town. Such a blast and a joy to visit! #comeback #bringjill #CAinDC #pizza #highlights #marriage #churchjokes #memorylanemonday (at Pizzeria Paradiso)
