We had a wonderful time at Fawndango's. I love this place. We had so much fun with our family. Thanks for opening your home to us. Drew and Camille came a long way with their swimming in your pool. As always, on of my favorite things to do while here is to hold down the porch and that is what we did most every evening. Thanks again. Pam & Buddy & Family & Friends
