Headed Home

We were up super early today to get to the airport. We had a perfectly Swedish guy, Gustav, as our driver. He actually had the car seat all hooked up and ready when he arrived and was just all around quintessentially Swedish.

Our flight from Gothenburg to Copenhagen was quite easy, and we were delightfully surprised to find out that the SAS lounge had a whole kids play room! I think Adeline was in heaven! (And me too! A huge room filled with toys with a self serve snack buffet and wine on tap right outside?! Perfection!) Will had fun playing around with portrait mode and I'm putting all the pictures right here. Sorry, not sorry.





















Getting onto our next flight from Copenhagen to SFO was pretty easy and the first part of the flight wasn't so bad, but our little keiki slept for a mere forty-five minutes of an eleven hour flight. I just don't even have words any more. Thanks to my amazing husband for bouncing her up and down the aisles for what must have been hours and hours.


At long last, we made it. We got on the BART, got home, unpacked the essentials, and got this little girl and ourselves to bed.


These types of travel days are pretty much the worst thing ever, but the memories we will now have makes it all OK. But, wait a minute, where is that vacation that we need after this vacation?! Time to recover!!

Happy Halloween!

Image
Even though last year was technically Adeline's first Halloween, this year felt like the first true Halloween because we got to go out and enjoy the festivities! The Temescal Business District hosted a Trick-or-Treating event for the kids and had fun activities along the way like free books from the library, story time, a dance party at the yoga studio, costume contests, and more I'm sure but we only made it a few blocks! We had a great time and the businesses were so generous and kind to the kids. Our little ladybug! She would only wear the wings from her costume, but she held on to the wand and headband. There was a fun skirt, too but she didn't want anything to do with it. Oh well. People still thought she was cute! Getting some raisins. Still trying to understand the concept of Trick-or-Treating! Dance party at the yoga studio. Aunt Mary's Cafe made fresh baked "Witches Fingers." Adeline loved hers but we got stuck in the B

Will Pitches Hawaii

Image
Will's company, Terviva, recently won a grant allowing them to get a commercial size planting of their trees in the ground. The project will take place mostly on the island of Oahu. As part of the grant program the company is invited to pitch its concept to a group of about 250 private investors from the state of Hawaii. Since Will has been working so hard on getting the project going, he was the person chosen to give the pitch! Will worked incredibly hard preparing for this event and did a great job! Will created new connections and peaked the interest of several people in the audience. Will has received great praise for his work by his colleagues and the people who are offering the grant. I'm so proud of his work! Here is a link to the video explaining what Terviva is planning to do in Hawaii. This video was submitted as part of the grant application. Video Link On stage! Nailed it!

A Day in Napa Valley

Image
Beginning with our first wedding anniversary, Will and I have spent a day visiting a winery or two.  It was my dream that someday we would take a trip to Napa or Sonoma to celebrate our anniversary; maybe for our 20th anniversary or the like. Never did I imagine that we would be spending our third wedding anniversary exploring Napa and San Francisco! We decided a short while ago that we didn't want to have to worry about either of us driving, one, because neither of us really knew where we were going, two, so that both of us could look out the windows and enjoy the scenery, and three is a no brainer, we would be tasting wine all day!  We explored some options and decided on a shuttle bus tour that would take us from SF to Napa, take us to several wineries, and end with a ferry ride on the bay back into the city. What a great choice we made! Not only did we get to lay back and enjoy the ride, we had the opportunity to meet and talk with a lot of interesting people! Saturday, Au
