MMM waffles
Those waffles looked so good. Your pictures are beautiful....its quite the city. I like that you are representin' with your red Yukon sweatshirt. Oh, my family loved your Yukon beer by the way. They savoured every last drop. My dad was raving about it so much that Lucas and Jonah wanted to try some too...and they did haha. Not sure that they enjoyed it as much. Looking forward to your next entry.
