Idle Hands Mean…A Trip to Europe!
After meeting up with my former Williams biology TA and his wife, my wheels started turning. She had mentioned her “new” discovery of Google flights. So I got to thinking… Even though I was enjoying my “Real Housewife of Silicon Valley” rest and relaxation, the thought of a last minute trip became very exciting. Mainly […]

We also looked at the objects in the “Melancholy Museum,” an organized presentation of many items collected by Leland Stanford the […]

Sisters in Japan, Day 9: teamLab and Kanazawa
Day 9 started out on the drizzly side. After waking up and saying goodbye to Ricardo and Brady, I headed out to teamLab Borderless in Odaiba. SMS and I had seen an exhibit in Palo Alto and thought it was pretty cool. I had slight regrets in pre-purchasing my tickets since I now thought I’d […]

Southern Road Trip, Day 1: Richmond
One thing I love about SMS is that his interest is piqued by things that would never catch my attention. This is almost always a good thing since I learn about something I otherwise wouldn’t have. Richmond made our list because of the Civil War Museum on the grounds of the former Tredegar Iron Works. […]

Mozart Foundation Museum Tour
Oh my goodness! SMS and I had the best luck on Saturday. Due to serendipity and SMS’ love of racing cars, we were able to take a tour of a private car museum owned by a local developer (who clearly has done very poorly for himself)! Let me back up. On Saturday, I got up […]

Birthday weekend, Part 4: Palo Alto, SJC
After an amazing birthday weekend, I got a little extra bonus time to spend with my parents. I had Monday morning off from work so after saying goodbye to SMS, I hung out in the morning until they woke up. Then we ate breakfast and had coffee. We had a small window of time before […]

Scenes from the Museum: De Young, Pierre Bonnard and Highlights from the Collection
Tartine, a great start to our day! On Sunday, we woke up, checked out and headed over to the Mission District for breakfast. I hadn’t been to Tartine yet since moving here and I was in the mood for some delicious carb-y carb carbs! SMS and I stood in line for awhile and then bought […]

Quality Time Weekend!
The past weekend was awesome! On Saturday, SMS and I headed to San Jose after a delicious ramen lunch at Orenchi ramen. SMS had gotten recommendations from two separate people so Saturday was the day to check it out. It was delicious! We both got the house special, which is a tonkotsu-broth ramen with slightly […]
