The Castles do New Zealand: A Preview in Selfies

Stay tuned for what is shaping up to be a very long post about our trip. 

In the meantime, gaze upon our beautiful faces as they become tireder (but no less enthused - the good travelly kind of tired!) and beardy-er (mostly Grady) the longer we are on a roadtrip.
