jon_wonder Erin and I went to many Harry Potter book releases and movie releases together when I was in high school and college. We finally became friends after years of sibling rivalry and grudging coexistence. Now we often travel together, including this awesome trip to Orlando for Harry Potter Extravaganza weekend where the parks were flooded with fans in full wizard costumes

jon_wonder Here’s my mom who I’m also good friends with. She’s very warm and selfless, a retired teacher who is great with her grandchildren. We went on vacation in Costa Rica, just the two of us, and she braved ziplining and white-water rafting while I braved learning to drive stick on mountain roads 😝
