Not Skiing in Steamboat
Hi, friends! This year, I tagged along Rex on one of his “solo” ski trips. Usually I stay home but I figured I can work from home some of the days so why not! Rex wanted to go to Steamboat per a couple of his friend’s recommendations so we flew into Denver then to Yampa Valley Regional Airport from there. It was my first time at a regional airport ever, and I’m kind of obsessed?! For example, boarding/departing plane from the tarmac in the open air was so fun!! For the first day, we didn’t make any plans or itinerary since air travel took up most of the day and…

Postcards from SATX
Hi, friends! Rex and I are back from a quick weekend trip to San Antonio, TX where we visited one of Rex’s brothers and his fiancĂ©e. It was my second time in Texas ever (first time was in Austin back in 2021) and can I just say I liked San Antonio much better than Austin…. đź‘€ I didn’t take a ton of photos because I really did my best to go with the flow since Rex’s brother and his fiancĂ©e are not used to me being extra. As I say this, I am realizing how many photos I am including in this blog post haha! Here are some snaps from…

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…

Colorado Weekend Getaway
Hi, friends! Rex and I just returned from a long weekend in Colorado (flew in Friday morning and flew back Monday morning), and I wanted to document the trip on the blog and share more details than I did on Instagram so here we go! Since we arrived super early local time on Friday (around 7:30am MST), we had a full day ahead of us. After grabbing some coffee and a pastry and a breakfast burrito at a local neighborhood coffee shop, we headed over to Denver Art Museum. The admission is not free ($19 for out-of-state, non-member adults) but it is totally worth a visit! There is so much…

2023 LA Trip Recap
Last week, I went to LA for the first time since I first came to the United States, which was back in 2016. So basically, I was visiting for the first time haha. I don’t think I’ll ever move there (due to the cost of living, traffic, PARKING, etc.) but I had a blast and can’t wait to go back! In today’s blog post, I’m sharing my very favorites/highlights of the trip! THINGS WE ATE Hanu KBBQ – While this is not an all-you-can-eat place, Hanu provided super KBBQ experience (I would say top two for me). They have an extensive selection of banchans and the service was so friendly…
