July So. Cal. Visit

Posted on July 31, 2010 | Katie | - Filed Under Family, Trips | Leave a Comment

So this summer break I had 7 weeks vacation!! Yay! My mom and sister came up for about a week to visit, help set-up the nursery and have a little girl bonding time!  Then the three of us and the dogs drove down to Orange County so I could visit with friends and family. I stayed for about 10 days! It was a great trip!

During my stay we had a fabulous brunch on the Queen Mary to celebrate my aunt and uncles 60th bdays! I also got to attend a good friends wedding celebration. And of course my trip wouldn’t be complete without an Angel game! My Dad and I got to go to a game (baby barsodi’s first of many…in womb of course!).

Here are a few pics from my trip!

Memorial Day Weekend

Posted on June 1, 2010 | Katie | - Filed Under Family, Trips, Us | 1 Comment

For the holiday weekend John and I drove down to Orange County to visit family. We had a 4 day weekend so it didn’t make the driving part too bad. It was nice getting to spend time with my parents and sister for a few days. On our last day there my parents had a memorial day party and invited all the family over to celebrate! It was so great to see everyone although that wasn’t the real reason for the visit! At the party John and I announced that we’re pregnant! We wanted to tell family in person the great news! Everyone was so surprised and excited!! Here are some pics from the weekend!

John and I went to the Carrie Underwood concert on Friday night at the Reno Events Center. It was a lot of fun! Craig Morgan opened for her. She put on a pretty entertaining event. Carrie had a least 7 or 8 outfit changes and her stage had several moving parts! Here are some pictures from the event…I will apologize ahead a time for my blurry pics! Enjoy!

My Tokyo Trip

Posted on May 23, 2010 | John | - Filed Under Trips | Leave a Comment

My company decided to close down our Japan operations earlier this year. As a result we had to send someone over there from IT to perform data destruction and equipment recovery. I was offered the opportunity and gladly accepted. I ended up getting to spend a week in Tokyo. My hotel was located in Ginza which is a high end, touristy shopping district. The endless blocks of shopping in Ginza provided great exploring and people watching.  My company had several offices spread across the area, but they were all shut down and my time was spent at our main office in Ueno, which was about a 30 minute subway ride away from my hotel in Ginza.  Outside of my time spent working I was able to enjoy several amazing food spots.  Tried some firsts; Duck, Bamboo, and some eggs from some other type of bird besides of a chicken.  Fortunately there was a starbucks 3 blocks from my hotel so I didn’t go without. :)  I also visited Akihabara, which is also known as Electric Town.  There were some amazing sites there for any gadget/technology aficionado.

This morning we met up with our good friends the Heenans for a hike up at Thomas Creek. It was a beautiful day! The sun was out and all you could see for miles was blue sky! It was chilly up on the trail though and still tons of snow on the ground! It was a lot of fun. Thanks Heenans!!! Here are a couple pics…enjoy!
