Well, I’m back in Hong Kong complete with wifi whenever I want it! It was actually very difficult not being able to write here on the blog for the entire month of July. I missed posting here a ton, but now I have many, many posts to catch up on–the first being the end ofContinue reading Happy Pride!
Summer Sunglasses Search
So, I did the thing your not supposed to do off a lake dock: I dove into the lake with my sunglasses on–let me correct myself, my FAVORITE sunglasses. Yes, they are total cheapies; I scored them at my regular haunt, Forever 21, so they were definitely under $5. Yet, despite their low price, theyContinue reading Summer Sunglasses Search
A Day in San Francisco
At the end of our road trip we reached our final destination in San Francisco. A dear friend from our first post in El Salvador met us for the day. Brent Brinkerhoff with his two girls, Sofia and Francesca, were gracious enough to be our tour guides for the entire day. We met down nearContinue reading A Day in San Francisco
Redwoods, California
One of the main reasons we took a road trip was to witness the Redwoods in California. These giant trees are something to see! They are so spectacular in their greatness. I have always wanted to show these giants to our kiddos, and I’m so happy we were able to so with Jane and Alex.Continue reading Redwoods, California
Spirit Lake Spirit
The 4th of July out at Spirit Lake is actually filled with so much spirit. It may seem cheesey, but it’s true. Our little Main Street fills up and a quick parade files through. It may be only about ten minutes, but it’s a neat feat. Then, after, everyone heads over to the community parkContinue reading Spirit Lake Spirit
Stop the Car!
The Spirit Lake Library’s wifi is working this time around, and I have finally been able to upload some pictures from the start of our summer! The four Kremb de la Kremb went on a road trip down Highway 101 with Kevin’s folks, Alex and Jane–also affectionately known as Babaji and Grammie. We had suchContinue reading Stop the Car!
Summer Update
So, I’m feeling a bit stranded from this blog. We’re now out at our cabin–but without Internet. The cabin is wonderful; don’t get me wrong. It’s just an odd feeling not being able to write on my blog when I’ve posted at least three times a week all this year. I’ve got 3G on myContinue reading Summer Update
Packing 101: Road Trip Uniform
We just finished a fabulous road trip that started in Seattle and took us on the 101 Highway down to San Francisco. We stopped in Portland, and then meandered along the Oregon post and stayed in Seaside, and Bandon. Once we got into California, we wondered through the Redwoods, stayed a night in Healdsberg, andContinue reading Packing 101: Road Trip Uniform
Northwest Layering
Currently I’m on a road trip with my family along the Oregon Coast. June is not really considered summer quite yet in the Northwest with all the rain (it’s raining in Bandon, Oregon as I write!)–by August the entire area will be sweltering in heat, but that’s a month I rarely see in this areaContinue reading Northwest Layering
Seaside, Oregon
Our roadtrip along the Oregon coast down to the Redwood National Forest is underway! We left for Portland on Saturday where we stayed for one night. Then on Sunday after the Portland Saturday Market we left for Seaside on the coast where we had found a house to rent through Airbnb Here we are inContinue reading Seaside, Oregon
Sleepless in Seattle
Oh, jet leg is such a bugger. My poor kiddos are now at an age where it really bothers them. For the first time, especially with Vincent, not being able to sleep is playing mind games with the poor guy. I just keep telling them you have to try to turn off your mind andContinue reading Sleepless in Seattle
Sunsets in Stanley
We’re almost outta here for our summer! This Friday morning the kids and I fly out, and then Kevin will follow next Thursday. We have a great summer planned ahead of us: time with family in Seattle, a road trip that will take us through Portland, the Oregon Coast, the Redwood National Forest, and SanContinue reading Sunsets in Stanley
