It’s probably our last vacation for a while, not because it wasn’t fun, but because it was a decadent splurge. We went to Puerto Vallarta over Christmas for a too-short trip consisting of five days and four nights. We convinced both grandmas to come along and Dinah and Manuel. We had fairly limited options for [...]

My day trip to Monterey with the twins
Posted in Travel, Video included on August 19, 2011 | 1 Comment »
I had an unexpected two days off in a row, so I left Soren at home with my mom on Monday and did a full day trip to Monterey with Claire and Ronin. I’ve been wanting to take them there for a long time, and this seemed like a great opportunity. We left early enough [...]
Our annual trip to Wyoming
Posted in Travel on July 23, 2011 | 1 Comment »
I have a lot of pictures, so I will let those do most of the talking. We visited Grandpa Bruce in Wyoming as a birthday present for twins, which was probably the best present they could have had. We gathered together some baby supplies from friends and co-workers and stayed in our friend’s house and [...]
Our Christmas and trip to Santa Barbara

Christmas was a whirlwind. Justin got very sick the night before, so sick that he didn’t come to the Christmas Eve party with us and was in bed asleep by 7 pm when we got home, shaking with chills and fever. He remained sick for the next several days and kept to bed as much [...]
The Santa Barbara Zoo

Thanks to a high school friend of Justin’s and a little nudge from Omie, who set this up for us, we were fortunate to receive a behind-the-scenes tour of the Santa Barbara Zoo. It was incredible! The zoo itself was worth a visit on its own. It was pleasant and well-appointed, and our guides (Peter [...]
Our trip to Santa Barbara

It was both a good weekend and a bad weekend to go to Santa Barbara. When I originally made the reservations, I had no idea that Justin’s trip to Australia and New Zealand would be as long as it was, and that he would be returning a scant few days before this weekend, still jetlagged [...]
Our trip to Wyoming

Thanks to generosity from my dad and our friend Chris, we were able to make a trip to Wyoming this summer. Claire and Ronin loved it, and Soren cried less than usual. We drove up to Grand Teton National Park a few times to see the beautiful scenery and walk by some lakes. We saw [...]
Yosemite Trip

Sorry it’s been a while. Last weekend we drove to Yosemite and stayed at a nearby Bed and Breakfast in Groveland, and then this week I worked four days in a row so I haven’t had a break for a while. It was much colder than anticipated. Driving into the park, we were astonished by [...]
