Vegas, Baby!

Last weekend I joined Way in Vegas since she was there for a conference. Our cousin, Samantha, came too and we made a fun girls weekend out of it! Well, actually, since Way had the conference during the day and I worked remotely, we really just made a few fun nights out of it - which Vegas is perfect for! And, as we get older, a "fun" night really just means awesome meals with good company. We splurged for one meal at Le Cirque and then had a more casual dinner at Lotus of Siam. Both were really good, but in different ways. We ended with a lunch at a Chinese noodle place in Caesar's Palace that was pretty, but really not worth the price! I didn't take many pictures - here's a few that I have.


Le Cirque was what you'd imagine - good service, intimate setting, really good albeit not totally inventive food.

Neat entry to the restaurant - it was a hallway of goldfish!

Happy new year!!

Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.  

Eating on the road

With all the COVID restrictions on restaurants and Scott not liking takeout service, we've gotten pretty good at planning meals for days we are out and about. We've basically taken to tailgating... a lot! It is nice though that it means having a hot meal to warm up after a day of playing in the snow and I'm not going to lie - it is also a good excuse to eat instant noodles because it is fast and easy and warming!   For overnight stays, we end up doing instant pot meals like one-pot spaghetti or chili, or easy meals like a cheese plate or sandwiches. It does save on $ so that's definitely nice but man, I can't wait to go out to restaurants again! Beef and barley soup lunch at Mt Baker. Chillin' with Chili at Crystal Mountain. Beautiful but cold picnic in Wenatchee Little girl loving her hot ramen over Blewitt Pass Jook after sledding at Crystale Springs Chicken Noodle Soup in the snow at Salmon Ridge. Pho bowls under the ferry awning at Diablo Lake.

Glass art

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.
