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!

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 ...

Alaska Cruise

By
We got back from our week long cruise to Alaska and ready to go again! We all had a great time but really the best part of our trip was all the family time we spent with my parents, Way and her family and Kin and his family. I think the last time we all vacationed together was back in 2015 when we all went to Kauai . It was so long ago that not all the littles had even been born yet! So yes, a big family vacay was long overdue. The kiddos loooooved spending time with their cousins, whether it was playing bingo or ping pong, or biking and hiking or just hanging out at meal time or playing mahjong. It helped that since we were all on vacation mode, we didn't push (too hard) on eating healthy or limiting screentime. It also really helped that the service on the ship was so accommodating to the kids and (pretty good) pizza, ice cream and drinks were available at all hours.  I was happy with the ship we picked too. The Quantum of the Seas is nearly 20 years old (first sailed in 2014) bu...
