Hey there! It’s been a while. We finally got around to running all the numbers and making the time to write something up about last summer’s “COVID-19 Summer #3” cross-country road trip to visit family, see some more of the United States, and help Hadley move into her new place in the Boston area.

Big Hero 6 wrap party
After all of the hard work on Big Hero 6 was done, we got to celebrate at the wrap party. We got all dressed up in our Hollywood best for the big night! We stayed at the Loews Hotel again, but this year we had an upgraded view! There were legit taiko drummers present to…

Back in January (this is really the last post that is going to start like that!) we took the youth group to Big Bear. There wasn’t any natural snow, but we did get to go tubing down the hills thanks to some snow machines. The rest of the weekend we hung out in an awesome…
