Winter in Barcelona with Paquito Homie—walks around the city, some light FCB brainwashing, and encouragement of his street art tendencies. Quick trip to the U.S. to give my dad some love. A Superbowl weekend in Costa Brava with the boys. Also, puzzles, cocktail bars, and visits from friends-soon-to-be-neighbors.
Some very sad days, but some amazing bonding and celebration. Our trip to Minnesota to celebrate my Dad and Mom was a very bitter-sweet trip. I want to share a little bit about my dad and what it meant to grow up with a man who saw life itself as one big adventure. For my […]
Christmas road trip to Annecy and Chamonix. A snowy, gorgeous time skiing and snowboarding, and spending coveted family time on excursions to glaciers, Mont Blanc vistas, and a really memorable Christmas Day.
What a great time with family in Barcelona! First-time visitors, repeat visitors, and long-term visitors! Absolutely amazing.

We got to meet our dear friends and celebrate multiple 50s in Porto and the Douro Valley. The Douro was spectacularly beautiful, and Porto and Gaia is a new destination favorite.
What happens when you turn 16? You get on a solo international flight the next day (because you can!) and visit your family in Minnesota and California!
When you’re walking around Barcelona, first, make sure to look up. The architecture is amazing and it is easy to miss a beautiful building or view. But don’t forget to look down too.
