Bag Borrow or Steal
I am a little late to the party – since I am sure you have all heard of Bag Borrow or Steal. And I heard about it a while ago and I understood the whole concept. But I never looked at the site until
The Painted Ladies, San Francisco
One of the things that Sandra really wanted to see in San Francisco was the Painted Ladies which is a term for Victorian houses painted in three or more colors to embellish their architectural features.
Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco
Finally we made it to the Golden Gate Bridge, and it\’s much more impressive up close.

Baby Morgan
Our friends Lisa and Zach welcomed their baby girl Morgan Elizabeth on July 8th. Since we were out west, we missed visiting them in the hospital. But we stopped by the other day and it was nice since
Our Trip Out West…
Sorry for the delay on the posts about our trip out west. I have started working on them but I don\’t want it to become the same situation as our Alaska trip where it\’s been a year and I am still working
Tibet Butler Preserve
Since we have done a ton of hiking out west lately, we decided to try a local hike we have never done before. So today we went to check out the Tibet Butler Preserve. I didn\’t bring my camera, but we
