Tonight was an incredible experience! We got to watch our son, Koa, perform with RCC at the WGI Championships in Dayton, Ohio. Their show was absolutely amazing – a truly record-breaking performance! We were so thrilled to be there and share in this moment. So proud! Check out the video below:

“Chicken and Potatoes” Dayton, 2025

This evening, we enjoyed dinner at Sueño, a very popular restaurant known for its gourmet Mexican food and cocktails. Although it was busy, we were able to find seating at the bar. We had the pollo al carbon and papas, which were delicious! I highly recommend Sueño and plan to visit again.

We’re on our way to Dayton, Ohio to watch Koa compete in the WGI Percussion Championships! On the way, we traveled through Charlotte, which is where I snapped this photo. Oh, I also saw my blog’s name at the airport!

“Small Plane” Austin, 2025

Today’s business trip included a really nice flight from Austin to Dallas. The small plane, with just four seats per row, made deplaning so quick and easy – a truly fantastic experience! I wish every flight could be like that.

“Breakfast” Cottonwood, 2024

Today was a long travel day, starting in Sedona, Arizona, and ending in Torrance, California. We kicked things off with a yummy breakfast at the Old Town Red Rooster Café in Cottonwood before hitting the road. Bay took the wheel for the first leg, and I drove the California stretch.

“Driver” Arizona, 2024

After a full day of driving, dinner at CoCo Ichibanya hit the spot. I usually go for level 10 spiciness, but this location now offers levels 15 and 20! Naturally, I had to try level 15. It was spicy, though I feel like their old level 10 from years back packed more heat. Either way, I’m definitely trying level 20 next time!
