Lots of celebrations taking place over here! My birthday is only 6 days after Emerson’s, which means we eat a lot of cake in the month of October. Since my parents helped us eat Emerson’s cake in just 24 hours, Matt got me another one for my day on the 18th. Em and I made an adventure out of going to pick up the cake at Clementine Bakery in Clinton Hill. I attempted to go for a run, but there…
We had a big weekend over here! My parents were in town, we celebrated Emerson’s birthday on Friday, and then Matt and I went on an overnight date in the city! We kicked off the long weekend with my mom and dad’s arrival on Thursday. Emerson hadn’t seen them in a few months and was so excited, but then was super shy when they got here. We headed straight for the Gap Outlet and my mom treated Emerson to some…
We’re home from Portugal, and it’s been fun reflecting on the trip these past few days. I like planning trips that have two different parts, so we headed to Lisbon after the beach portion of our trip. Although I would have loved to stay at the Pine Cliffs the whole time, we wanted to see some of the sights and experience a bit more Portuguese culture. We stopped in the town of Albufeira on our travel day, and after walking…
Part II of our Maui trip was absolutely fabulous. Emerson adjusted to the time change and we all felt great! On the short drive from Kapalua to Wailea, we stopped at the Maui Ocean Center. Emerson was protesting a nap, and absolutely loved looking into the fish tanks. She’s just starting to point, and would laugh when she saw something in a tank. I loved seeing he giant rays and the sea turtles. We made our way down to the…
How is it the end of summer? Time is definitely moving faster now that I have a little one. I go back to work on Tuesday with mixed emotions! We traveled for Maui for our big vacation this year. Matt is at the end of a year-long internal project (so sad that he’ll be traveling again:() and was able to take a lot of time off, so we decided to stay 12 nights and split our time between the north…
Hello! I’m sorry that it’s been a while. I’m sure you saw that the blog disappeared – I have no idea how I got hacked, but it was not pretty. Almost every file was corrupt, and after hiring one company that couldn’t fix it, I had to spend a small fortune to have the site cleaned from head to toe. Is there seriously someone who sits around and gets pleasure out of this kind of thing? Anyway, it was way…
The rest of our time in Bermuda was spent doing a lot of lounging and exploring different beaches. We also loved the infinity pool at our hotel, but didn’t discover how awesome it was until the end of the trip. Floating on noodles felt heavenly. The beach club at our hotel was perfect for swimming – they had really nice chairs, hammocks, and a restaurant, and it was rarely crowded. We spent a couple of full days there – swimming,…
Lots of excitement over here, as I have two weeks of school left until summer break! Woohoo!! It’s that point in the year where fun events are happening right and left – the 8th grade lunch, PA appreciation lunch, graduation, bridge into middle school, and lots of performances. I have never been more ready for a break though – I suddenly feel like I have one million things to do at home. Outside of work, I’ve been enjoying a few…
We’ve had a fun couple of weekends over here. First, we had a local wedding to attend, which is such a rare occasion. I loooove going to weddings in town because it makes the whole event much more relaxed when you don’t have to travel. Our friends Alex and Akshay got married right around the corner from our house at the beautiful Robert E. Lee park. Though it was a chilly day out, it was absolutely gorgeous! The ceremony was…
