LA trip... finally!

By

The girls and I went down for a quick last minute trip last weekend. We couldn't make it down to join the rest of the Yu clan for their Palm Springs trip, and it sounds like we missed out on a lot of fun but at least we were able to get down for the tail end of their get together! I'm so glad we did because we got to spend one evening with Way and her family before she had to drive back up to SF. 

The rest of the weekend was pretty low-key. On Saturday, since we were already up bright and early to say goodbye to Way, we drove out to the beach. Unfortunately, it was gray and cloudy with June gloom there, but we still managed to enjoy ourselves before it got too crowded and got back to my parents house for lunch. 

On Sunday, we celebrated Father's Day with an early lunch trip to Shake Shack for burgers! We've been to this location before in West Hollywood and like that it has a huge outdoor patio with plenty of space for us to spread out and the kids to run around a bit. Bonus that we saw Jay Leno there this time around! 

The rest of the time we were in LA was spent just hanging around the house. The girls made lots of use of the pool outside, plus enjoyed playing with Quinn, Cade and Elle. We headed back home on Monday evening so it was a short trip but it was SO NICE to see the family again, especially since we hadn't seen everyone since Christmas 2019!

We took a walk with my mom around the mountain and I really liked this person's garden!

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...

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.
