boats, ahoy!

By
We went to the Floating Boat show on Sunday and the girls were beyond excited checking out the fancy schmancy yachts. Truth be told, I thought it was pretty neat too. It was like going to an open house but better because you can just walk a few feet to the next one. We got to check out some multi-million dollar yachts that were as nice as multi-million dollar homes. Seriously - these boats had full size kitchens with viking stoves and sub-zero fridges, 4 bedrooms, bathtubs, etc. Super fancy. If only I had a few cool million just hanging around, needing to be used up!

Captains chairs

This one was around $2M, and was not the fanciest one we saw.
I'm the queen of the world!

Here's more photos of Mary's Promise. $2.3m, and it's a USED boat that's about 15 years old!

Afterwards, we went to dinner to celebrate Grandpa's birthday and capped the night with ice cream and video games at Full Tilt! This place is a Seattle institution and I was pretty excited to finally cross it off my list. They have some interesting flavors (I got mango chili), pinball machines and arcade games, and a bar that serves beer and alcohol so that you can make fancy ice cream floats.

Evie vs Nora on pacman. Who do you think won?

Family time

By
I had to do a quick trip to LA towards the end of July to say goodbye to my Uncle Pang, who passed away a few weeks earlier. I have fond memories of fun cousin time at his house in Palos Verdes and Uncle Pang taking us to the beach when we were younger. I remember how he delighted in making us kids squeal with laughter by pretending the car ride was a rolleroaster - we'd take sharp turns and all of us kids would slide to one side of his Volvo station wagon or he'd slow the car down to a roll and we'd all chant that we couldn't let the car stop and it would inch slowly forward at a stoplight.  Although it was a sad reason to get together, I think he would be happy to know that the weekend was also a wonderful get together with family. Because it was fairly last minute, none of the kids flew over which meant us "adult cousins" were able to have long talks and linger over food. Kin and Meredith were able to host a summertime bbq at their house and we had a nice t...

Happy new year!!

By
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.

Cousins trip: Banff!

By
Just 2 weeks ago I was in the beautiful town of Banff enjoying girl time with my cousins and taking in the picturesque landscape and now I'm holed up in front of my computer doing work. Oh how I wish I could go back! This was my second trip to Banff (first time was back in 2019 on a roadtrip with the family ) and I got to check out other parts of this beautiful National Park while laughing it up with these girls to celebrate Frances' big birthday..  We all met up at Calgary airport on Friday morning and after a quick lunch at Calan Noodles for hand-made beef noodle soup (yum!), we hopped in our rental car and drove the 90 minutes to Banff. I was surprised and impressed at how easy the drive was - even easier than driving to Whistler because of the wide and well maintained freeway.  That first afternoon in Banff we walked around town and did some shopping before making our way to Brazen, a bistro serving "Modern Canadian" fare. What's Modern Canadian you ask? We di...
