Traveling

In the past two months I have flown through all three of the major Bay Area airports (SFO, OAK, SJC). The transportation logistics can be a little tricky, but having multiple options definitely helps with price shopping. As a side note, if you're coming to visit us SFO is definitely the best option, but the others are also feasible (OAK is better than SJC if you want to get to our place via public transit.)

Anyway, two weekends ago I spent several lovely days at Newport Beach, CA with my grandma, aunts, and girl cousins. My family is crazy and wonderful. I also learned something very important on that trip, which is this: I failed to develop hula hoop skills early in life, and evidently it's not something that you "just pick up". :)

The beach was beautiful and the trip was rich with conversations, silliness, water, and sunshine. Thanks to everyone who made this a fun weekend with lots of good food!

Last weekend I joined Mike in Boise for a few days to visit parents and watch the Boise Philharmonic concert. It felt totally normal to be back in Boise, except that I was surprised at the large amount of space between cars that had parallel parked on the street downtown. I guess I'm getting used to living in a city, at least in some small ways.

Now we're back in SF for a while, and it's good to be home just so I can catch up on some sleep.

More pictures to come later.
