Our First Ever Beach Week! Pt. 1 Beaufort
Hi, friends! I’m here to recap our first ever beach week, or rather the first part of it. Since Rex and I have been working from home full-time since the beginning of the pandemic (we were hybrid worker bees before), we had tossed around the idea of working from not-home, and it finally happened! Although I’m more of a mountain person (or 계곡 person IYKYK), Rex has been wanting to go to the beach so we decided to visit a couple of coastal towns in the state. We loved Beaufort last time we visited and have been meaning to go back the last couple of years so that was a…

Our First Utah Trip!
Hi, friends! Rex and I just returned from our “big” trip out West this year, and we had a blast! We were mostly in Utah to visit a couple of the national parks out there (both of our first time in Utah!) and flew in and out of Vegas via Southwest (both of our first time flying Southwest too). WHERE WE STAYED While in Utah, we stayed at Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort which is to the east of Zion National Park. We opted for the glamping route and stayed at one of their Conestoga Wagons. It was a fun experience staying in an old Western-style wagon! The wagons have electricity…

Charlottesville, Round Three!
Hi, friends! I was in Charlottesville the last few days–this was my third time visiting, and it might have been my favorite trip yet! Naturally, I wanted to share about the trip with you (as I did after my first trip to Charlottesville back in 2020). We (me, Rex, my sister Jiyoung, and her husband Daniel) spent a total of three days and two nights in Charlottesville, and that felt like a good amount of time where we did a ton and didn’t feel rushed or bored. We drove up from Durham Thursday morning and headed straight to Thai ’99. We went there during my sister’s bachelorette trip back in…

Our Honeymoon in Maine
We got married a week ago on Labor Day Sunday and just returned from our honeymoon in Maine. I definitely want to share more about the wedding in the coming weeks. In the meantime, here’s how our honeymoon went! After going back and forth between choosing a place we were familiar with (Charleston) or someplace completely new to both of us, we decided on Portland, Maine. We actually planned to go back in 2020 following our Portland, Oregon trip in 2019 but that never happened for obvious reasons so it felt fitting. Many people do Boston-Portland-Bar Harbor route for their Maine trip but since our trip was Tuesday-Saturday and we…

Wilmington Weekend
Hi, friends! After living in North Carolina for 16 years, I finally made it to Wilmington this past weekend. I don’t know what took me so long to visit, considering I’ve been to Charleston like five times?! I feel a little bit silly saying this but before this weekend, I thought Wilmington was a small town with UNCW and a beach nearby but it was both a lot bigger and more happening than I expected. Here’s how we spent a weekend in Wilmington: ALL THE FOOD We drove from Durham Friday morning straight to Indochine Restaurant. Indochine seems to be one of those institutions and it lived up to the…
