I hope you had a nice spring break! Thanks for staying tuned while we took off the week to tackle a long list of  “to-dos” (it feels REALLY GREAT to see a shorter list!).  It wasn’t all work, though.  We managed to sneak in some fun things including a visit to the FW Botanic Gardens (the flowering trees at the Japanese Gardens were amazing), as well as a tour of the impressive  Hudson River School exhibit at the Amon Carter Museum.  We are glad to be back in gear and would love to hear about your spring break, too! :)

 Speaking of fun things to do at the Carter Museum…
