Mayday, mayday, we all got sick in May on Mother’s Day and Daddy’s b-day.

Made up for it with this cake for Daddy when we all recovered…

Taro with durian filling for the durian king!

This beautiful full moon out our window made us think of the expanse of the universe and the smallness of our momentary afflictions. :)

And we “made up” our counter photo after we all recovered w/ a random Apple water bottle and a Korean rice dog.

More golfing… an all Asian crew this particular day on course.

Saying goodbye to these sets — an end of an era! :*(

Didn’t renew Legoland membership as we thought he might be growing out of it so we decided to try membership @ the SD Zoo, which included the Safari Park. We hadn’t been to the Safari Park so we wanted to check it off.



What’s up? Kangaroo butt!


We really enjoyed the aviary.

Can you spot (pun intended) flat cheetah?

Love his love for reading and books!

Putting in the time @ the range.

But there’s always time to just sit in a tree…

Got some lobsters for an Easter dinner with friends.

With hot pot, too!


At the driving range quite a bit…

Prepping for on course sessions.

Art Day @ school!

And then grandparents + Auntie Glo unexpectedly showed up. :)

Mommy loved this cafe…

But they were still hungry so tacos it was a few doors down.

Grandma enjoyed Balboa Park and all the plants, flowers, greenery.


Jet lag hit Grandma pretty hard but we took Grandpa around… (Wearing Daddy’s hat, haha).



Climbed to a nook while waiting for us.


They’re off to Texas for a few weeks but will be back in SD afterwards.

Fun robotics event @ the library with friends.

Parents were invited on campus for student performances.

As per usual, SGV stop otw up to Mammoth for all the Asian drinks/eats!

Typical Chinese cash only bien dang place. :D

Fam in TW has been going to Puli a lot recently so sent them this and their comment was “Why is it so expensive?” Haha.

Overnighted in Lone Pine to break up the drive… and finished our takeout for dinner.

Then rolled into our nice loft for the week!




Daddy’s boot edge split and now Mommy’s bottom tread fell off. Our gear is getting old… as are we. ;-P

Daddy had limited vacay due to the new gig so it was Mommy and son boarding for a few days + some intermediate coaching for E. At least Y’s able to work remotely… digital nomad life.

Not enough snow to ski in/out so it was a bit of a workout to walk to/from the closest lift (w/ some scrambling involved… w/ a board… in altitude, lol).


Coach Dusty was awesome! The other kiddo was also from SD and they got along well.


Coach Max showing them a snowboarding mobile game he’s coding.

Mommy had a few days of solo riding.


And then he tried the cornice! Made it down w/ turns… Atta boy. :))

Another black. NBD now.

Woolly, we’ve missed ya!

After E’s lessons, it was more snowboarding w/ Mommy.

Some days Daddy logged off early and joined us for a few runs.


And then he started to really like the cornice and went down it again… and again!

Feeling pretty accomplished.

Another Woolly sighting!


Daddy attempting another Michelin star tonkatsu ramen, haha.

Dim sum to go otw back home to SD…

Remember Mommy wanted to eat these the other day @ Sea Life? :))
