Our annual road trip to visit family in July! First night was a stop over in Bend, OR. I was not able to book where we typically stay (McMenamin’s St. Francis), but was able to get a night at the Riverhouse on the Descutes.The moment we checked in, it started dumping buckets. Alex was thrilled. […]

Avengers Endgame
Posted in FAMILY on Jun 5th, 2019
OK, I think I scored a few mom points with this one. The boys were totally looking forward to seeing “Avengers: Endgame”. Alex said we needed to see it on opening night so he would not have to worry about online spoilers. When I went to book the tickets, the only ones I could get […]

Spring Break in Manzanita

Oakland Day Trip
Posted in FAMILY on May 21st, 2019
David and I drove to Oakland for the day to visit Paul, Shannon, and baby M. We went to a park along the bay that had a terrific view of San Francisco. Windy and cold, but no rain, so we had a good time.
Happy to start the new year at one of our favorite places. We did not ring in the actual new year there, but went shortly thereafter. Our timeshare was booked so we ended up staying at Napili Shores. They ended up upgrading us to an oceanview. It was the nicest location we have stayed at […]

Alex is… Creative. He is often creating movies and digital graphics., sometimes alone or with a friend. Polite. He carries himself well in public […]
