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.

Ski weekend in Leavenworth

By
We had made plans many moons ago to take the MLK weekend for a short getaway to the Leavenworth area. We've been a few times in years past and it's always a fun place to visit especially in the wintertime. But this year, with COVID and all, we weren't sure whether we wanted to go but I'm super happy that we went. We had a blast and was able to keep safe by keeping to ourselves! First up, we left bright and early so that we can pack in a snowshoe/winter hike on the drive over. The last time we went , we had stopped for some snowshoeing on the way back and it was epic! Unfortunately, this time the snow was old and not nearly as soft and fluffy so while it was a nice diversion with some pretty views, it wasn't as great as we had hoped. The fun part though, was that we brought our camping stove with us so we did some tailgating in the parking lot and had a fancy ramen meal for lunch. It was super nice to warm the belly with the yummy noodles and broth! That evening, we ...
