Big on Blueberries

Jenni got a notification that our favorite blueberry farm was opening the next day. So we got to Hillside Blueberries at 7am to pick their plump blueberries. I guess we were too excited and hauled back 45 pounds and got featured on their blog.

Marvel United: Guardians of the Galaxy Remix

Jenni and I enjoyed the third Guardians of the Galaxy movie and naturally wanted to add these fun heroes to Marvel United. But the retail set didn’t include Gamora, so I went to eBay to find someone who owned the kickstarter edition that included Gamora.

Bricks Cascade 2023

There are so many amazing displays of creativity and engineering at Bricks Cascade. Our family looks forward to this LEGO convention every year to marvel at the imagination using LEGO bricks. From the gigantic Jurassic Park to the microscale Andor diorama, we are amazed at what the builders can do.

We’re grateful for all of the builders who invested their time and creativity for us to enjoy one afternoon.

See the full album of what we saw.

Marvel United

A board game that united multiple interests: board games, Marvel, cute miniatures, art, and teamwork. I never imagined this board game subgenre would be so much fun.

The idea was to bring together a group of of remarkable people to see if they could become something more. To see if they could work together when we needed them to, to fight the battles that we never could.

Happily Eighteen Years After

Something her’s, something mine, we celebrated our anniversary weekend by doing activities that we enjoy individually and together. As we cross eighteen years together, we have the mindset of growing in love towards each other so that we don’t drift apart.

Our Upgraded LEGO Nook

We’ve struggled to display our LEGO collection well because many solutions were as expensive as the toys themselves. I would rather spend the money on the bricks rather than furniture to showcase it.

But when Vernier offered a fire-sale of their office furniture, we took advantage of the huge discount to upgrade our LEGO nook.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

One of our favorite attractions in any city is an aquarium. We love admiring creatures that dwell in our vast oceans.

My personal favorite are the jellyfish. This was the first time I saw jellyfish that glow and glitter!
