The Wrap

Today’s edition by:

From the editor

Over the weekend, my family and I celebrated my mom’s birthday. My mom and I not only sound alike, but we basically have the same personality and tend to finish each others sentences. We also annoy my dad and sister during every sporting event because we like to talk about the colors of the player’s jerseys.

Last year, we took a girls trip to Napa for my mom’s birthday and we had the best time. I’m still dreaming about the Historic Del Dotto Winery & Caves and the cooler weather.
