Happy New Year 2015

Happy New Year to everyone! To kick-off the new year, here are some photos from our recent California trip. As you know, for the first time ever, we took a week and a half long trip to our favorite places in California (San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego). In the week and a half that we had in Cali, we managed to go to the 49ers vs. Chargers game, Cal Academy of Science, Disneyland, Legoland, eat tons of great food, and of course, spend quality time with both our family and friends.

Seeing that our trip yielded hundreds of pictures (closer to a thousand), for this site, I’ll just post our SF trip, and for the rest of the trip, you’ll have to go to our Baby Horse’s site.

Here’s our baby Horse going on his first plane ride. It was a bit tough (4 poops in a 6-hour span, but we managed)

Nothing like a quick visit to Pier 39 to take in the sites. Of course, we also had time to get some much needed ramen before heading to the pier

Who knew the Cal Academy of Science had so many cool things?

Game day and everyone is ready to go! We took a quick visit to Santana Row to kill some time, then off to the big game.

As the brick says, hopefully we’re starting a new tradition. Next time though, we’ll need to bring a sharpie to add baby Horse’s name as well…

Why Can’t We Move to San Francisco Again?

A few weeks ago, I got to spend time with my Uncle Ben (something that I still talk about today). Just think, if we ever moved to San Francisco, I could hang out with him everyday! It was a great week of fun (with visits to both Cape May and the Zoo), capped off by a trip to the Boardwalk where Dada and Uncle Ben played the grown-up video games that I wasn’t allowed to play.

Absolutely Chillin’ in AC

What a perfect way to end the Summer by heading down to AC and soaking in some rest, relaxation, and a lot of sightseeing (in a short amount of time). From the Cape May Zoo, to the Boardwalk, to the awesome hotel we found near AC, it was a great weekend made even greater because we got to share it with family.

Street Smart

Word on the Street was that Sesame Place was open for the Summer and that they opened a new area within the theme park. The only trouble was, the new area was only going to be opened to season ticket holders. Thinking quickly, and covering ourselves since Tiger was expecting to go to the new area, we opted to ‘teach’ Tiger how to tell everyone he was only 2-years old so that we could buy 2 season tickets (and that he would be able to go into the park for free). Yes, I know, it’s not ethical to teach your child these types of life skills at this age, but hey, aren’t we all just a bunch of 2-year olds at heart anyways? Okay, it was worth a shot.

For a look back at some of our other visits last year, see below:

Babymoon – Returning to Session

On our second trip to Congress Hall in Cape May, NJ, we took full advantage of the two days that we spent there. After checking into Congress Hall late Friday night, we ran around on the beach on Saturday, visited the Cape May Zoo (which was FREE), then capped off the weekend with our first ever visit to the Atlantic City Boardwalk.

In a beach town full of vintage Victorian homes, the Congress Hall sets itself apart just by the structure itself.

We didn’t waste too much time in getting to the beach bright and early on Saturday

Although the final days of any vacation trip is usually met with fatigue, we decided to do the complete opposite and maximum every last minute with a Zoo/Boardwalk combo

We won’t be back here for awhile, but when we do, both little Tiger and little Horse will be sure to love it!

Spoiled Rotten

In the past three years, it’s hard to find a time when Tiger has gotten more attention in NJ, then what he just received last week from his aunts and uncle. From eating great meals at Denville Seafood, to Luke’s, to Peter Luger’s, then to the Princeton Communiversity, not only did Tiger receive constant attention, he also had his share of fine foods.

We love having guests around the house as Tiger’s face lights up even more than it usually does. After a week of fun trips to both NYC, PA, and in NJ, our living room becomes quiet (without the sound of Game of Thrones) and mama and dada both agree that we definitely saw Tiger grow-up a bit more this past week. Whether it was the presence of wonderful company, or just Tiger maturing, we both know that almost three and a half years have gone by way too quickly.
