David had an executive conference in Banff, Canada. With it being only five hours north from his mom, we coordinated our trip to make this happen for all of us! The border crossing could not have been easier. Totally a difference experience from the busy Vancouver and Victoria crossings. As a fun treat for the […]

It just fits in this neighborhood. Dino topiary… Theo Chocolate is a fantastic chocolate factory in Fremont. It is certified organic and fair trade. Located […]

Two cuties cuddling… We headed to the U district for frozen yogurt. Ryan is crazy for boba teas and they had both stores available. He and I picked up our boba […]

Our annual road trip begins! This year, we brought the puppies. They did a great job with the long hauls. Quick rest stop while heading north… Road trips are exhausting! First stop. Overnight in Eugene, Oregon. We stayed at a delightful property. Great value for what we paid. The decor, service, and food was all top […]
