A Trip within a Trip within a Trip

Posted on September 27, 2023 by Carrie

As we normally do, we spent a few weeks in Ohio this past summer. But not just Ohio. This time, we also went to our cabin in New York. And then while we were at our cabin, since it was so close, we also went to Niagara Falls, Canada, for one night. So, three trips in one over the span of two weeks. During this time, we did so much. More than we’ve ever done on any trip “home.” Every day was a new adventure. We all had a blast, but I think in future years, I should probably dial it back a bit and leave some more days for just playing at home. Continue reading →

A New Year, Another Ohio Trip

Posted on January 29, 2023 by Carrie

The kids and I started 2023 out with a nearly week-long trip to Ohio to visit my family. My sister and her family also few in from Colorado and so the whole gang was together, including all seven grandkids/cousins. We mostly hung out together, but we also squeezed in two ice skating adventures, one trip to an awesome library, and neighborhood bike rides/walks. Our week culminated with the celebration of Baby B’s baptism at one of the church’s in which I grew up. Then, we returned to California and our work, school, and activity routine. Continue reading →
