Honolulu, Hawaii

In early October Dale and I traveled to Honolulu for his CHEST work conference. We stayed right on Waikiki Beach at the Alohilani Resort! I worked while Dale attended his conference, but we fit in lots of great food, time on the beach and a hike while we were there. This was our first time away from Grant, and we missed him a lot, but we tried to embrace the fun with friends!

My favorite stops for food included Maguro Spot (for Poke), Sunrise Shack (Acai Bowls) and Marugame Udon (the BEST Japanese noodles!). Our hike was the Diamond Head Summit Trail which was through a crater and ended with a view of the coast. Hopefully we will have another trip back to Hawaii someday where we can explore beyond Waikiki, but was was a beautiful quick trip!


Hello, Steamboat

We spent Labor Day weekend in Steamboat, Colorado to celebrate my cousin Ben’s wedding! When we first arrived we headed straight into town to explore before checking into our Airbnb. The next morning Grant went on his first hike with us! He loved facing forward in the carrier to take in the scenery and we all enjoyed the beautiful early Fall weather.


Grace Goes to Belmont!

Last weekend my family traveled to Nashville to move Grace into Belmont for her freshman year! It was so much fun to see where she will be living, help get her dorm room setup and tour campus. We also made time for Jeni’s, Hattie B’s and a quick trip to Cheekwood Estate & Gardens. We miss Grace so much but can’t wait to hear about all her college adventures! Go Bruins!
