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 […]
Cooking creatively – Caraway and homemade okara hummus
Jon and I have decided to be a bit more adventurous when it comes to home-cooked meals. It turns out that there’s a lot of different foods out there and deciding what to try first is really tough. The approach we’ve decided to take is to take an untried spice and use it to cook […]
Homeward bound
After two weeks of a lot of fun, it was time to head home. I told the doorman that we were flying on ANA, so he told our taxi driver we needed to go to terminal 1. We got our luggage out, got our tickets checked, went through security, and then found out that we […]
