Seein’ San Fran’
We took a trip down to the bay area in April. One of the places we went to was Sushirrito. It’s sushi, but burrito-sized. And burrito-ish flavors. It sounds weird, but it was pretty good. Who can turn down gigantic rolls of sushi you can eat with your hands? We rode on some really old […]

Hej, hej! Back from Europe!
I recently returned from another business trip to Europe. This time in addition to London I got to go to Sweden for a team offsite. On my way to Sweden I made a quick stop in London and spent a day in the office. It was my first time making the trip on British Airways […]
Last day in London
My last day in London was great. I woke up early to revisit Westminster Abbey so I could see the inside. It was gorgeous, but too bad they didn’t allow any pictures on the inside. I headed over to Borough Market after that to meet up with my cousin and we checked out all the […]
London Days 3-5: Mostly working
I spent the next few days mostly at work during the day, but I did get to see a few cool things. The Skype offices are in this magnificent building. Pretty fancy stuff! After work on day 3 I went to check out Harrod’s, this fancy shopping mall. Each room had different décor. My favorite […]
London Day 2: Southbank
After I wrapped up at the V&A Museum I headed to the Southbank to check out all of the attractions that were down there. I had the best chocolate cake ever at a little café around the corner from the Globe Theater. The Globe Theater tour was great, but next time I’ll definitely like to go to the […]
London Day 2: Victoria and Albert Museum
I woke up early Sunday morning so I could make it to church on time. I attended the Hyde Park Ward which meets on the same block as the Victoria and Albert museum. Church was great. After church I headed to the V&A to check it out. It was by far my favorite museum. The […]
Clearance jackpot!
This weekend we scored the best deal we’ve ever had to date. We went to Lowes and saw a whole rack of clearance that was shrink-wrapped and for sale for $50. The retail value is over $1000! It included stuff like three faucets (including one worth $138), a drill, copper tubing, teacup planters, and dozens […]
Our third Microsoft 5k!
We went to the annual Microsoft 5k race like we do every year. This time it was freezing! It was 50 degrees, overcast, with 6 mph winds. Brrrr! The Seahawks Blue Thunder Drumline was playing at the finish line. Video here. We beat our last year’s 5k race times! I finished in 25:04.6 and Angela […]
London Day 1: Seeing the sites
After I left the British Museum on Saturday I took the tube to Green Park so I could walk to Buckingham Palace. Very palace-y. I roamed around the area a little (aka I got lost) then I started walking towards Big Ben, Parliament and Westminster Abbey. They’re all conveniently located in the same spot. The […]
London Day 1 – Getting there and checking out the neighborhood
Two weeks ago I got to go to London on business. Luckily enough I had some time to see some sights too. I liked London way more than I expected to. I hope I get to go back one day and check out all of the things I missed! I took a red eye to […]
