They started by going to Las Vegas every year, then branched out to different cities. Their routine these days is an MLB ballpark city each summer. I joined them once, 14yrs ago, in Vegas, though you won&#8217;t even recognize me in the <a href=\"https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/?p=2857\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2857\">pictures from that trip<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year they went to Washington, DC and I managed to join them again. I was a little nervous because in my mind they are still college age and I&#8217;m ancient, but when I got there and we reunited, we fell right back into the old comfortable friendship. Believe it or not, they are also aging! LOL. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-4 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/wp-17216977855196613230519631823390.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"769\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/wp-17216977855196613230519631823390-769x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"19998\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/wp-17216977855196613230519631823390.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/?attachment_id=19998\" class=\"wp-image-19998\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/wp-17216977855196613230519631823390-769x1024.jpg 769w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/wp-17216977855196613230519631823390-376x500.jpg 376w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/wp-17216977855196613230519631823390-768x1023.jpg 768w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/wp-17216977855196613230519631823390-1154x1536.jpg 1154w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/wp-17216977855196613230519631823390-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/wp-17216977855196613230519631823390.jpg 1502w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 769px) 100vw, 769px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">I got a free bag through the wellness program at work.
