  • Beaver Creek with Grandma and Aunt Jen

    Beaver Creek with Grandma and Aunt Jen

    by

    The kids got out of school early this year, so we decided to go on our annual ski trip before the holidays. Even though they weren’t going to ski, we asked my mom and Jen (and Blue) to join us to experience mountain life for a week. To keep things familiar, we went back to…

  • 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…

  • Harry Styles Concert in Los Angeles

    Harry Styles Concert in Los Angeles

    by

    We’re nearing the end of our concert series for 2022, but this is clearly the pinnacle for Olivia, who is slightly obsessed with Harry Styles. We were cool with Olivia wanting to see him on his tour, but it didn’t help that he was only playing a few cities, the nearest being in Los Angeles.…

  • U of M Trip to Blaine’s Tahoe House

    U of M Trip to Blaine’s Tahoe House

    by

    I was lucky to spend this past weekend in Tahoe with a different set of brothers. Jen and Matt bought and renovated a home in Tahoma during the pandemic. It is on the shore of Lake Tahoe and every inch of it is beautiful. Matt invited the entire NorCal U of M crew up to break…

  • Spring Break on the Big Island

    Spring Break on the Big Island

    by

    Spring break this year was also a belated celebration for Grace’s 50th birthday. Although we used to go to Hawaii a bit before the kids and also when the kids were very little, they’ve only been one time that they remember. We had a great trip with the Lees to Maui for spring break several…

  • U of M Ski Trip to Vail

    U of M Ski Trip to Vail

    by

    A group of guys have been going on this ski trip for a while. This year, Thorne let me know he and Blaine had space in their room and invited me along. Among the other first timers were Blaine, Jon, Lamarchial and possibly some others. Some people departed as others arrived, but my guess is…

  • Long weekend in Tahoe with Moons

    Long weekend in Tahoe with Moons

    by

    We spent the long weekend with the Moons in Lake Tahoe. Clara and Grace conspired to sign-up Lucas for ski team at Northstar. This was his first time skiing with his Mountain Explorers team. He’ll get some more days on the mountain this season and is happy to have Nico to keep him company. Olivia…

  • Ski Trip to Beaver Creek with Jea and Eddie

    Ski Trip to Beaver Creek with Jea and Eddie

    by

    We planned a ski trip for the 2nd week of the kids’ break. It’s always a gamble with the snow that early in the season and a week or two before our trip to Beaver Creek it was looking very bleak. It was dumping in California during that time, but not all of the storms…

  • NYC for the Holidays – 2021

    NYC for the Holidays – 2021

    by

    We finally had planned to spend the holidays in NY to be together with family. This was technically a Park Christmas, but my mom would be with Jen and the Haus would all be around. I hadn’t been to NY since Eemoh’s 80th birthday over three years ago. We planned to spend the first half of…

  • Lake Tahoe with Mom and Jen

    Lake Tahoe with Mom and Jen

    by

    We capped off our Thanksgiving holiday with my mom and Jen in Lake Tahoe. I’m not sure if it counts as a staycation when you drive 4-5 hours each way, but it is somewhat routine for us. We wanted to give them the full treatment, which included a stop at Il Fornaio in Roseville for…

  • Summer Trip to Michigan – 2021

    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…

  • Weekend trip to Chicago

    Weekend trip to Chicago

    by

    Although we’ve taken some trips during COVID-19, my parents have been pretty locked down. While we were all home in Michigan, Grace wanted to take a trip with everyone to give them a change of scenery. After considering some destinations, we decided on Chicago as we haven’t been there together in forever and the kids…
