2022 Year In Review

2022 was certainly filled with significant milestones. In May, Alex and I got engaged on a hammock overlooking the Mendocino Coast. In December, we got married in a redwood grove, surrounded by our closest family. And in between, we enjoyed so many lovely moments with our friends and family: my fifteen-year business anniversary, two midwest…

Cleveland, Ohio

Straight from the Michigan football game, we rushed off to Cleveland to make it to the ballpark in time to pick up this giveaway: a Steven Kwan t-shirt and a Franmil Reyes bobblehead! Reyes unfortunately was traded off the Cleveland team before they even gave out these bobbleheads… so the team added the Kwan shirts…

Detroit, Michigan

It’s been over two months since I posted the previous part of this Midwest tour, but I’ve finally circled back to continue with the next leg — Detroit! We stayed at the Shinola Hotel, happy to support the Detroit-based watch & lifestyle brand. There was a very nice library in the nook right outside our…

Ann Arbor

Off we go, on our second Midwest trip of the summer! Alex is on his quest to visit all 30 MLB stadiums, so we decided to travel to Detroit, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh all in one fell swoop. But first things first, we pay a visit to my hometown of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Go Blue! Old…

Bay Area | August, 2022

August! Begins with a virtual Office of Accountability meeting. With babies! Book club, currently discussing Four Thousand Weeks (highly recommend). Flying back from my Midwest tour, still knitting puffs. A bike ride to the Ferry Building Farmers Market Summer bbq party at Steph’s Rainbow French manicure, a month later. Still looking great. Plus, a free…

Cincinnati

To complete our first of two Midwest tours this summer, I went to Cincinnati for a week to visit my mom. We didn’t have much on the itinerary other than regular suburb destinations like the mall and various grocery stores, and one quick trip downtown. But I am so grateful to have gotten this chance…

TAF 2022

Oh, beloved TAF. Taiwanese American Foundation’s summer camp is where I spent a week of every summer from the time I was ten until I graduated college, and a few times since then as well. The last time I attended TAF was back in 2013, when I felt like I had gotten a lot out…

Chicago

We had a very brief double visit to Chicago, since we flew in and out of the city to attend the Taiwanese American Foundation summer camp in Indiana. So we were in town for just one night before camp and one night after. Here’s a look at our very brief visits to this very nice…

Milwaukee

After we found out that I would be going back to the Midwest this summer to attend the summer camp I grew up going to (more on this to come), we decided to tack on another ballpark for Alex’s quest to visit all 30 MLB stadiums. Since he has already been to both Chicago stadiums,…

Bay Area | July, 2022

July recap! We were only in the Bay Area for half of the month, between our trips to San Diego, Milwaukee, Chicago, and my summer camp, TAF. But here is a glimpse at that time in the Bay! First, a very kind gift from my friend Courtney– Taiwanese teas and biscuits from Té Company in…
