Beasley-Taylor Family World Adventure

It's now been just over 3 months since we bid goodbye to our friends and family in Seattle and headed to the airport, wearing French flag tattoos to celebrate that day's win of the world cup (no one at SeaTac had any idea of why we were wearing them, except for a Somali and Italian guy, both who congratulated us  on the win).
