The Redwoods are an amazing site to see! Their massiveness is beyond impressive. They are a mind blowing form of nature similar to the karst formations in Yangshuo, China. The tricky part about travelling through this forest is finding a base–it’s a very vast area with little towns with very limited overnight options. We hadContinue reading Where to Stay in the Redwoods: Miranda Gardens
Happy Pride!
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
DIY: Turn Old Jeans New
Ironically this morning I was talking to my sister-in-law about how it’s been forever (like 2009) since I have purchased a pair of blue jeans. I was thinking I’d go to the Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale to get an updated pair. But then I remembered this old pair sitting in a drawer out at the cabin:Continue reading DIY: Turn Old Jeans New
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
My Mom’s Cowboy Boots!
It’s kind of a long story. Basically, for the 4th I asked my mom if I could borrow her cowboy boots. She brought out these, and I was shocked they were a new, studded style. I was wondering where her original old pair were….that’s when she told me she gave them to me. I wasContinue reading My Mom’s Cowboy Boots!
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
