I finally got a LO done from our Phoenix vacation. Journaling reads:
Shelby LOVES In-N-Out Burger. On our last evening in Phoenix, she talked us into going one more time. We ordered, took our first bites, then Shelby groaned, “I forgot to take a picture!” So, she went back to the counter and asked if she could take a picture of a freshly made cheeseburger.

GET THIS! They made her another; magazine ready as you can see. Then, after she got her photos, they gave it to her. With pure joy, she proceeded to eat them both!
