Will was home sick with due to having a fever on Monday, but he was feeling well and was up for the trip. My sister, Lena, had tickets and invited us along: it’s so fun having my sisters in nearby. I definitely wouldn’t have had this on my radar or felt like I could make it happen without her inviting me.
