Now that our baby girl is five weeks old, it was time for her first vacation: New York City! It wasn’t a real vacation, since we live in NY, but rather it was a test for other trips we have planned this year. Vacationing where you live is a nice excuse to eat only in [...]
Despite my dad being an artist (shameless plug), I feel like most times I don’t really “get” modern art. I see when things look nice, I appreciate the technique, but those paintings where the skill level is hovering around Kindergarten don’t really appeal to me. So you have a solid black canvas with a red line painted [...]
Eating a cultural food outside of that particular culture is a tricky business. Restaurant reviews cite authenticity as a benchmark of quality, and being deemed “unauthentic” is the kiss of death. Having never been to South Africa (but finally going next May), I’ve been told that I’ve never truly experienced real South African cuisine, despite having [...]
Living in a city is very different from visiting as a tourist. Tourists see the famous and crowded sites, they do as much as possible in a day and they have the luxury of avoiding their day-to-day life while traveling. I’ve spent the majority of my life living in two cities that are often tourist [...]
San Francisco is by no means geographically far from New York, but that doesn’t change the fact that the city is just different – the landscape, the vibe, the people – all different. Lately I’ve been down on NY and thinking there had to be something better than being cooped up in an office building [...]
We didn’t intend to explore by foot, it just kinda happened. I’ve been to SF enough times to know that it is too damn hilly to stroll around comfortably. In the words of my husband, “this is a silly place to build a city.” In his defense, this was shortly after I’d promised him that [...]
So so sleepy…this has been an action packed weekend. Lizzy got up around 9 and we had some cereal with bananas before getting ready. My flight was at 1:20 so we had to leave her apartment before 11:30. I packed my bags and had to throw away a few of my liquids to make room [...]
After passing out last night, I was shocked to find the alarm going off at 7am and Dave rushing out to the living room and then waking me up shortly thereafter. He had set the alarm so that I could see my first sunrise – over the ocean! Really, it’s little actions like that that [...]
I’m not entirely sure what happened this morning…there was some type of construction noises that started around 8am I think but I think Dave waking up pissed is what awoke me. Phone calls were made, I dunno, the noises stopped – sleep until past 10am. Pretty amazing really that for once we got to sleep. [...]
Wow, so 1 hour of sleep kinda sucks. I got up around 3am, more like 315am, to 2 alarms and it was SO cold in my room that I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to stay in bed so much in my life. I was literally shaking as I was getting dressed. I loaded my [...]
We all got up around 9:45 this morning and all showered and dressed again without much difficulty despite there only being one bathroom. We had to be at Molly’s parents’ house by around 11, and we really weren’t that late! Sarah had told them that the 3 of us were coming up for the weekend [...]
So we woke up, um, not so early today. I had woken up around 8, but forced myself back to bed until like 9:30. Everyone got up at that point, and all 5 of us managed to shower in about an hour I’d say. Then of course, we all had to do our hair and [...]
