Spring Break in Seoul – Day 3
—
by
We had to wait for the rain to clear up before heading out for the day. On our way, we saw King Sae Jong getting a shower. Gyeongbok Palace was closed, which made it a lot easier to photograph. We made our way to Bukchon Hanok Village, where we took one our favorite Rhee family…

Spring Break in Seoul – Day 2
—
by
We knew this day was supposed to be rainy, so we planed for indoor activities. It should be noted that the breakfast buffet at the hotel is insane and there is no way to sample all that is available in one sitting. That didn’t stop us from trying. We started the day at the National…

Spring Break in Seoul – Day 1
—
by
Rather than spend another break doing college tours, we opted for more international travel. It has been 11 years since our last visit. Olivia and Lucas don’t remember anything from that trip, so this is effectively their first time. We left on Friday and arrived on Sunday. This wrinkle in the space-time continuum caused me…

College Tours in LA
—
by
The kids had another day off from school, so we used it for a quick trip to LA to check some schools off the list. While I think both kids are very open to going “away” for school, I sense a new appreciation for life in California. We only had time to see the big…

Birthday Weekend in Tahoe
—
by
The kids had three days off last week for conferences, which included 12 on our birthday. We enjoyed a great birthday dinner at Che Fico Parco Menlo. After one last conference on Thursday morning, we departed for a fairly easy drive to Tahoe. It was dumping snow for about two days, which made for some…

U of M Ski Trip to Tahoe – 2024
—
by
Matt invited the gang to Tahoma for a ski trip. While everyone wanted to be there, only four of the best managed to pull it off. Four is the number of sides to the puzzle we finished, as well as the perfect number for Euchre. We skied Palisades and Alpine Meadows before Jud had to…

WB Ski Trip to Utah – 2024
—
by
I haven’t skied with this crew since our big trip to Austria in 2020. Looking back, we used to go to Utah pretty often together. We had 3 bluebird days at Canyons and Deer Valley. Somehow we managed to get on the mountain earlier on the morning we flew in than on the day we…

Ski Week in Tahoe with Moons – 2024
—
by
We were thankful to spend most of ski week up in Tahoe with the Moons. We had a couple powder days and a couple groomer days, which was perfect. The kids have yet to outgrow each other, but they may have outgrown us as they often preferred skiing with their friends on the mountain. Thanks,…

U of M Ski Trip to Vail – 2024
—
by
Had another super fun trip to Vail with the Michigan crew. We were missing a few team members, but those who made it went as hard as they could, which means slow and steady. The snow was great and we covered the entire mountain. Durbin and Allard finally broke their winning streak. I’m not sure…

Long Weekend in Tahoe
—
by
Our ski season is off to a slow start. There wasn’t anywhere worth going during the holiday break, so we enjoyed some down time at home with Luna. Thankfully we finally got some snow last week so we headed up to Northstar for the weekend. I saw that Brian and Juliet were up there and…

Christmas in Palm Springs with the Parks
—
by
Grace’s mom wanted to do something “warm” for our Christmas gathering with the Park families (Charles’ parents, too). We spent several days at La Quinta, which was a first for all of us. The pouring rain on day one washed out our golf plans, but we managed to get a couple rounds elsewhere, including Indian…
