Hi Friends! How’s your week going? We had our normal Wednesday schedule! Mia had playdate in our neighborhood, My MIL picked her up for a lunch / play date. We had dinner with them after.

I wanted to post about our visit to Honolulu Zoo (last Oct. 2018).  We wanted to have a little break from the beach, and visit the Zoo for Mia (she likes animals). The Zoo is small compared to the San Diego Zoo, but decent enough.  We were kinda disappointed that they didn’t have the Hippos when we were there (hubs fave animals). We loved that it was not crowded when we visited, but it sure was hot though! UGH! My favorite animals were the Giraffes and the tigers because we got to see them pretty close up.

After spending time at the Zoo my Bro In law and sis picked us up to have lunch together. We ate at Highway Inn, it was good if you’re into local Hawaiian favorites!

Hi friends! We just got back from NYC early Sunday morning, it was so much fun to see NYC during the holidays. This is our second time to see New York during Christmas time and it’s such a fun thing to experience. It was Mia’s first time on a plane, and I was a little nervous because you never know how a toddler will react (if she’s gonna have ear pressure issue, etc.) Thank the Lord that she did so well, she cried every now and then during the 5 hour trip (SEA to JFK) but no big deal, she did so good!

We stayed at my sisters cozy apartment (thank you dick for accommodating my little family), we watched 2 Broadway shows ( The Rocketts and Wicked), lots of eating, and checked touristy places like Rockefeller, Central Park, Times Square,etc).

It was such a fun week at one of the busiest cities in the world! I will try to blog more in the coming days (where we ate,etc). I loved all of the Christmas decorations especially the light displays at 5th avenue and Rockefeller Center (but the crowds were exhausting! HA! We surely expected things to be crazy so no surprise there!

Till Next time Big Apple!

Hi everyone! How are you all doing? We’re all doing great here, enjoying a nice summer week in the PNW (sunny all week!) and having a restful  August. We’ve had such a busy July. I’m posting about our trip to Leavenworth last month when my sister visited us. We all love this little Bavarian town (2 hours drive from our house).  It’s such a darling place to spend the day. Fun shops, good food and cozy ambiance is what I always associate with Leavenworth.

We had lunch at the famous Munchen Haus! As always the line was long, but their service is always quick so no worries there. We enjoyed some brats( I had the Jalapeno and Cheddar sausage! YUM!!), pretzels (according to Hubs he prefers Auntie Annies! HA!) and fresh squeezed lemonade. Aside from the food and the atmosphere, I really loved that they are pet friendly, so it was no problem having Riley with us.

Till next time Leavenworth!
