On New Year’s Eve 2022 to New Year’s Day of 2023, we spent a night in a bar at The Inn at Death Valley. The story was a lot more complicated than it seemed...

Taiwan - Post Pandemic 2022
2022.11.09-25 Taipei + Miaoli, Taiwan
很難相信這不過是去年2022的事,那是疫情在台灣有了一道曙光,開始採取自主隔離政策並對外開放,時隔三年,再上一回抵台的愛愛不過才六個月大,查理斯的頭髮也還沒留長!

Pika…Chu Combo!
The joke goes, if I name one of my kids “Peaka,” the full name would be Pikachu!
en was turning to the age that becomes more reluctant to play dress-up.

October Kids Free San Diego
2023.10.14 San Diego Zoo Safari Park
October was here. I let the kids pick where they would like to go for Kids-Free San Diego: Sesame Place vs. Safari Park
October 14, 2023 was also the solar eclipse that could be visible in the west coast. We spent about 10 mins in the parking lot observing the partial eclipse. The park ranger also showed us how to observe solar eclipse through a piece of hole-punches paper. When the sunlight streamed through the paper, we could easily spotted the eclipse from the shadows on the ground.

Busier Than Ever Summer
I’m going to post according to the correct date or at least closer to the date of the events… It’s currently in October already. I am way too behind and have so much to document the fun times, road trip, sightseeing, and travel that happened in the chu’s sweet home. I felt like the summer of 2023 was the busiest summer so far!

Surprise at Great Wolf Lodge
"為什麼要放在那裏?" 愛愛問
"厄...以防萬一要用到的話..." 媽媽回
愛愛也沒有再追問下去,大夥整裝上車,開車得時間比以往上教會還久...
"怎麼這久啊~" 又是愛愛發聲
終於,在經過 Disneyland 的一些路牌下哥哥姊姊終於覺得奇怪了
"我們不是要去教會嗎?" 哥哥問
"我們要去不一樣的地方" 媽媽回答
等到車子轉進 Great Wolf Lodge “要去這裡的教會?” 哥哥始終轉不開上教會的念頭
"不是啦!我們要去 Spring Splash!" 樂樂讀著路邊的插牌說

Taking My Daughter on a Date

Happy Valentine’s Day
Charles and I went snowboarding at Big Bear Mountain on Valentine's weekend. It was a miserable day for me. I felt that I was a three-year-old, whining about not being able to accomplish a task. This was not the first time I got on a snowboard, yet I gave up so quickly and refused to go for another round.
