Mark Fever 2025

So this is my bad. It's currently March 2026 and I realized I never made a post about Mark coming to visit last summer. 

So here's what I remember:

We went out to Q39 as a family.

Brit, Mark and I went to Coach's for drinks. 

And then Mark and I went to Fox and Hound for our fantasy owner's meeting.
