So, now that I'm finally getting around to catching up on blog posts, I wanted to share about our time in New York City. I barely remember spending a week in the Big Apple because it was during our whirlwind summer before moving overseas, affectionately referred to as the Jackson Tour of the US. But, … Continue reading NYC & The Baker’s Dozen

When I left off, we had spent two brief but packed days in Seattle with my uncle Darrell, spending time with him towards the end of his battle with cancer. The second part of our visit he wanted us to drive him out of the city, away from his home, to live with his godson … Continue reading seattle part ii

This post is way overdue. (And way long, yay for those of you who love long posts!) There are so many places we visited last summer - I wanted to share all of them, but because we were traveling so much (and prepping for an international move!) I (forgivably) never got around to it. Buuut … Continue reading seattle
Cabin Weekend: Champagne & Hot Tubs
One thing I kind of stopped doing is blogging tons of photos and details about every little adventure that I have. I didn't stop because I don't like sharing, but because I felt like it didn't really happen unless I shared it. Am I oversharing with this blog post? I don't know, but I want … Continue reading Cabin Weekend: Champagne & Hot Tubs

LOTS to do, and lots of travel, and it's all "normal"! Yesterday was my last day in the office, … Continue reading Puerto Rico Part III: Old San Juan
Puerto Rico Part II: Wedding
The whole reason I went to Puerto Rico was to celebrate my cousin's wedding. On Monday we joined the wedding party for the rehearsal lunch. In true latino style, everyone was late, and the food took forever. The restaurant was at the top of a hill, and the map had a wrong turn, which led … Continue reading Puerto Rico Part II: Wedding
Puerto Rico: The Beach
I saved up my money and went on a trip, to one of my favorite places in the world, no less - the Caribbean. Puerto Rico to be specific. My cousin Scott had a destination wedding, and I was happy to make the trip out there. I joined my parents, which was pretty much the … Continue reading Puerto Rico: The Beach
New York City
Oh my gosh, I just found this as a draft.... Ohh no, I thought I posted it long ago! Whoopsies! Well, better late than never, I always say! In late December my parents and brother and sister-in-law drove all the way up to our little apartment west of Philly to spend Christmas in our neck … Continue reading New York City
