We decided to pack up the dog and kid and drive up to Sunriver, Oregon for a week. We made it right before a winter storm hit and woke up to several feet of new snow. It's definitely a silver lining to be able to work remotely from anywhere with fast internet. After a few …
Last week we spent a couple of days recharging in the Sierras and accidentally stepped into Rivendell. The aspens are just about to enter their prime fall state and their yellows and oranges were stunning to look at against a beautiful blue sky. It's sad how I will never take a blue sky for granted …
Winter in yosemite is so beautiful and peaceful. We spotted a playful river otter and a hungry looking bear. The scenery is breathtaking with misty air and swirling clouds around the granite cliffs. We enjoyed some snowy hikes in the almost empty Valley and explored the base of El Capitan, making foggy breath clouds and …
We are blessed with a decent rain season this year and we've been equally enjoying the new grass carpeting all our hills and the amazing powder at Tahoe (pre-quarantine). Spring Festival

Ellie's class has a honorary student named Loup or "Wolf". Every week Loup gets to go home with one of the kids in the class for the weekend and come back with pictures of his (or her?) adventures. We were so excited to have Loup visit our house. He played with us, ate with us, …
There is no adventure without some misadventure. What an amazing trip we had despite the numerous mishaps--most of which involves puke so I won't get into it. Even though traveling is not always rainbows, it is still worth it! For the majority of our time in Maui, we had an amazing time being close to …
