THE MURRAYS ABROAD
Steve and I recently took a trip across the pond — first to the UK and then on to Barcelona. While he enjoyed a golf reunion with his high school friends, I spent time wandering the vibrant city I once called home. It was a wonderful blend of nostalgia, culture, and a little sunshine before the season ahead!
