East Coast College Touring
—
by
We explored a few new cities/college towns while we were on the east coast before Thanksgiving. We enjoyed all of them and the campuses were impressive in their own way. The highlight was a too-brief lunch with the Milano-Sessines in New Haven.

Golf Weekend with Eddie
—
by
Ed and I haven’t had our usual run-ins on the mountain or in Michigan this year. I haven’t seen him since he visited last December for a concert. He came out last weekend for some fall golf and it was spectacular (the weather, not the golf). Glad we finally got to hang out.

Fall U of M Trip to Tahoe
—
by
Matt invited the crew up to Tahoe for another spectacular fall weekend a couple weeks ago. It was a lot like last year, but with less smoke and more hiking. Watching Michigan football is a lot less stressful these days. Blaine kept us well fed. Greg tried to catch some surf with the Fred Steaks…

End of Summer Trip to Napa with Lees
—
by
We didn’t see the Lees much this summer, so we planned a trip to celebrate the end of summer together. Napa is close and we’ve been to Carneros Resort with them a couple times before. Mike and Amy and other friends were also up at their home, so we joined forces for dinner over there…

Albert’s 50th in Lake Tahoe
—
by
Mike hosted Albert’s BFFs for an early 50th birthday celebration at his home in Tahoe. I haven’t known Al as long as his other buddies, so I was honored to be in included. We played golf at Northstar, Gray’s Crossing and Coyote Moon. It’s unclear if the golf itself or devising a game for 7…

Full House with Yoons and Haus at Michigan Grandma’s
—
by
We haven’t seen my mom since the holidays, so it was extra special to visit her before camp. Jen and Blue completed the Rhees. My mom is loving life in her new home and community. Growing up, our best family friends were the Yoons. Our moms worked together for several decades at Beaumont, but knew…

Sae Jong Camp 2023
—
by
Despite all the amazing adventures we had this summer, SJC is still a highlight for Olivia and Lucas. This year, some new cousins (Emily and Xavier) and friends (Audrey, Caden and Colin) attended as second-generation campers and staff. Things are really getting back to normal, which meant we were also able to drop in for…

Golfapalooza in Northern Michigan
—
by
Bobby brought his kids to camp for the first time, which meant he was able to join our annual golf trip after dropping the kids off. He happened to catch us as Grace is particularly obsessed with golf. We played Sunday through Tuesday at Arcadia Bluffs. Wednesday, we were supposed to take the day off,…

Summer Travel: Chicago College Tours
—
by
We’re technically on our annual summer trip to Michigan. However, while we were nearby, we took a quick day-and-a-half trip to Chicago to see a couple schools. It was a fairly easy drive (for the passengers). Despite my dad’s history at University of Chicago, this was really the first time both Grace and I visited…

Lucas’s 8th Grade Graduation
—
by
Yesterday, Lucas and his classmates completed 8th grade and graduated from middle school. We had a full day of celebrations for the kids and adults to mark this amazing milestone. Each student delivers a 100-word speech along with honoring and introducing a classmate, chosen at random. It’s as touching to hear what they have to…
