  • Christmas in Palm Springs with the Parks

    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…

  • Thanksgiving in NY – 2022

    Thanksgiving in NY – 2022

    by

    Last year, we attempted to spend the Christmas holiday in NYC and Rye, but we abandoned our plans midway through the week. Things are thankfully different this year, so our Park Thanksgiving was again planned for Addy and Charles’s house.  Like last year, we spent the front end of our trip in Manhattan. We didn’t…

    Summer Trip to Michigan – 2021

    by

    Our family made our first trip to Michigan together since 2019. I was thankful to visit my parents back in June. We also haven’t seen Jen and Blue since then, so it was a great reunion for our family. The first week, we spent some time with Grace’s family in Ann Arbor. Delaney was still…

    Summer Trip to Michigan with Family

    by

    Despite some mild objections (from Lucas), the kids would be going to SJC again this summer. Last year, I took them out a few days early to get them adjusted to the time and to spend time at my parents’ house, which they love. This year, we asked my parents if they could spend a…

    Thanksgiving 2017 in Orlando with the Parks

    by

    We spent only our second destination Thanksgiving in Orlando, FL last week. Coincidentally, the first was with the Rhees in Miami Beach, FL five years ago. Our family and Elin went down a little early to spend a few days at Universal Studios. We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel, which was very close to…

  • Spring Break 2017 in Los Angeles

    Spring Break 2017 in Los Angeles

    by

    After a lot of skiing this winter, we decided to road trip to Los Angeles for spring break. The main motivation was because Grace was convinced her mom was turning 75 and wanted to have a surprise party for her. Then Addy and Charles changed their plans to meet us in LA, and Dave came…

  • Olivia’s 10th Birthday Celebration at Hakkasan in NYC

    Olivia’s 10th Birthday Celebration at Hakkasan in NYC

    by

    On Thursday, December 29th, we had one last family gathering in NYC to celebrate Olivia’s 10th birthday. She and the rest of the family had been to Hakkasan before with Dave’s boss and she really enjoyed their macarons, so she requested that restaurant. This was my first time eating at any Hakkasan and the food…

    Dad Park’s 80th Birthday Celebration in NYC

    by

    Because all of the family were together for the holidays, Grace’s Mom wanted to celebrate her Dad’s 80th a little early. On Monday, December 26th, several close friends and family met at Gaonnuri. Dave and Charles emceed the event and several people spoke, including Mom and Dad. It was a beautiful event to celebrate Dad’s…

  • Christmas at Addy and Charles’s House in Rye, NY

    Christmas at Addy and Charles’s House in Rye, NY

    by

    This was a Park Christmas, and critical mass is now on the East Coast. Addy and Charles invited us to stay at their home in Rye for Christmas. We got in pretty late on Friday from Denver and didn’t anticipate the fiasco of La Guardia as neither of us have flown in there in a…

  • Spring Break in Southern California

    Spring Break in Southern California

    by

    We decided to drive down to Southern California for spring break. We had no firm plans or agenda for the week and departed Burlingame right after having an Easter Sunday brunch at Il Fornaio. It also happened to be our birthdays, so Grace planned one-night’s stay in Westwood. We’ve stayed at the W many times,…
