Thank you so much for the kind words on Miko, it’s been nearly two weeks and we miss him terribly while the house does not feel the same. I think back to that tough day a lot and tear up. I have found comfort from everyone’s kind words and online support groups for those going […]
First Day in Portland for the List
We are back from a whirlwind 4 days in Portland for the Portland VegFest and I am wiped and madly getting laundry done to get back to work tomorrow. And a little sad our fun trip is over. Can you believe I’ve never been to Portland? Maybe on a road trip as a kid, but […]
LA Trip Part 1: Little Pine and Universal Studios
Happy Memorial Day! Hope everyone is having a great holiday, we’re relaxing and catching up on laundry after a packed weekend in LA that I’m still going through hundreds of photos from between hubby and I! We left Thursday for a long weekend in LA that included going back to Little Pine, Universal Studios Hollywood, […]
Back from Urgent Travel
Whew, the last week has been crazy chaos and I’m still trying to figure out what time it is and which end is up. But glad to be back home. Basically we found out hubby’s father passed away and packed at the speed of light after work Monday to catch a red eye flight to […]
South Lake Tahoe Camping
Sometimes it’s nice to disconnect a little and get lost in nature with good company and that’s what we’ve been doing the last few days camping with family in South Lake Tahoe. I love that Lake Tahoe is just over a 2 hour drive away, but worlds different in scenery and weather. We started the […]
Los Angeles Adventure Part 3
Time to wrap up our LA adventure. Saturday was another long, but awesome day. After hitting the hotel gym and breakfast bar for loaded vegan oatmeal bowls, we headed out to the La Brea Tar Pits. I honestly did not know much about the tar pits beyond what I’ve seen in movies like Volcano, so […]
Los Angeles Adventure Part 2
Day 2 of our Los Angeles adventure started early at the Griffith Observatory, an iconic spot in LA I’ve seen in plenty of movies but have never actually been to. If you’re not actually going into the observatory, just taking in the views and hikes – before noon on a weekday is perfect since the […]
Disconnected Camping Vacation
Happy 4th of July! I’m back after 5 nights of camping in the Humboldt Redwoods with family. I had every intention of blogging from our campsite and even had posts ready to go, but no cell reception through most of the trip even though the coverage map showed there was coverage – it lied! Disconnecting to enjoy […]
Wrapping up 2015
Happy New Year! It’s gonna be a quiet evening here while I get over the great plague of 2015 and hope the remnants do not creep into 2016! The worst fever part of it is over, but some sinus and achy symptoms are still hanging around and I just want to get to the gym and […]
Business Trip Eating
I am soooooo glad Friday is almost here! And hello from the San Francisco bay area, I’m hotel living for a couple of days with a co-worker for a software training conference. It’s the same conference we went to last year, but scored a better hotel this time. Getting here yesterday was a fun misadventure, I […]
