Lady Cousins Trip 2023

By

Our first Yu-cousin trip was in June 2007 to Vancouver, and ever since then, several of us "older" cousins try to get together every few years to see one another and catch up. COVID put a damper on our trips but we rallied this year to find a time that worked for us Lady Cousins and guess what? Everyone descended here to Seattle last weekend! 

It was a really nice long weekend filled with LOTs of talking, laughing and eating. We kept the weekend super easy and low profile - we didn't have too many plans and were pretty content to make soup noodles at home and just hang out listening to music, playing mah jong and watching movies. Mostly, it was just nice to catch up and chat. I was super sad to see them all leave on Monday; it really makes me wish I had closer family in Seattle. At the same time though, it means these weekends with them are that special! 

Evie and Nora were sad they weren't able to join. Thanks to all the dads for watching the kiddos so we could do this girls trip. Next time, maybe the next generation can join!


Sunny days in Seattle are the best.

Tried the new ice cream place by Ellenos Yogurt. We got Earl Grey and Passionfruit. Yummy!

This is a nice picture of Grace!

90s Love Songs and Mahjong. YEAH!

We tried the new wine from Girl Meets Dirt. I approve!

Our delicous homemade chinese chicken noodle soup for dinner.

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

By
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.
