Bol Park BioBlitz and San Bruno Hike
On Saturday, we went to our first BioBlitz, hosted by Grassroots Ecology. I found it by looking up native plants in an effort to speak SMS’ love language. Although it was “sold out” on EventBrite, we went anyway. I planned a casual walk-by that, if things looked lame, we could just pretend that we were […]

2021 Wrap Up: May
End of Year Wrap-Up, incoming! I wasn’t the best at keeping up-to-date on the blog this year. Understatement! I am going to blame COVID-fatigue. I couldn’t plan or enjoy a significant amount of “real” travel. Also, I am looking forward to when SMS and I don’t have to travel for our commuter marriage, which will […]

Weekend Review
After four weekends in a row away from Menlo Park, SMS finally got a break and I travelled North. I took Valentine’s Day off not because it’s a holiday we go all out for (honestly, it feels like Christmas just happened and who wants back-to-back gift buying pressure?), but because Lucid was having a special […]

Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time!
Christmas festivities throughout December… I blogged about it “December 7” thanks to back-dating, but SMS and I went to December Lights and recreated our meeting 7 years ago! We went during the day because we went to his sister and husband’s Christmas party that evening. The next week, I travelled back to Virginia to do […]

Wrapping up October with a quick fly-by! I have to be done by the New Year- new resolution, more frequent blogging. This has only been made and broken many times! So, first things first. The above picture is from a dresser I have from my parents. It dates back to childhood and I just recently […]

Real Housewife of Silicon Valley
So, after an amazing Napa trip with my professional wine-tasting in-laws, I took the week off and did my best impression of a Real Housewife of Silicon Valley. Mainly, this meant that I went to expensive boutique exercise classes. I went to my favorite SPX pilates class and realized that my core has no strength. […]

CA Weekend: Wooden Spoon, Windy Hill, Rose Garden
SMS and I had another amazing California weekend! The weather was gorgeous and we spent a lot of time outside. On Saturday, we started off in San Francisco at the Wooden Spoon. It’s located next to the Swedish-American Hall and has some Swedish-inspired dishes for breakfast/lunch/brunch. I got the most Swedish dish of Swedish pancakes […]

California Birthday Weekend!
SMS planned an amazing birthday weekend for me! We celebrated the weekend before since I was going to North Carolina the next weekend. Although I love celebrating on my birthday day, it is also a lot of fun to extend the celebration! I took the day off on Friday and walked into the best birthday […]

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 […]

Summer Begins!
Our second moving truck! Phew! At first glance, June seems like it will be more mellow than May, which was filled with lots of great trips. I think, though, that finishing up fellowship and moving will bring its own version of excitement to the month. SMS and I got a lot done over Memorial Day […]
