Already missing all my friends…

#OSH25 was a blast… watching airplanes fly was great. Hanging out with my friends, and making a bunch of new ones was greater. Everyone have a safe trip home! #campbacon

Taking a walk together with my favorite human among the cherry blossoms 🌸 here in #Chicago.

We’ve missed out the last 2 years, which makes seeing it all even more special this time. #sakura #hanami
