Last Tuesday, we packed up our tent and started on the second leg of our road trip. Peter was on a mission to capture photos of a misty forest so we drove up into the mountains on our way out of the Redwoods. It was so quiet and peaceful. So much so that I kept […]

Last Monday, we woke up ready to explore. We drove up North, making stops along the way, and reaching the Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park and Crescent City (or The Burger Place, as my dad calls it because we had Burger King there for lunch). Unfortunately, the Redwood State Parks is extremely dog-UNfriendly despite the […]

Last Saturday night, we started packing up the car, strapping some luggage to the roof, and throwing in a potted plant and dog. The Yip Family Road Trip was about to begin! After driving almost 12 hours straight, we finally reached our first destination: Patrick’s Point State Park in the Redwood National Forest. We quickly […]

I can’t believe it’s already been almost a month since I’ve been back from Virginia! Virginia was a very random and sudden trip. I had just started my job at CHLA and barely one month in, my boss asked if I wanted to attend a conference in Arlington. Having never gone to a work conference […]

Six years ago, Peter left a lock for us at the famous Seoul Tower Locks of Love when he was studying abroad in Asia. We should have continued the tradition so I’m a little sad we’ve missed out on leaving locks at all of the places we have traveled together so far. But it’s never […]

Monday morning, I woke up feeling sluggish with a tingle in my throat. It’s almost expected of me to get sick at the end of a trip because I exhaust myself from all the things I try to cram into a day. So of course I woke up with the beginnings of a cold on […]

Early Sunday morning, Claudia and Isaac left back to Los Angeles. Peter and I went to 5th Avenue to do a little shopping and to visit the Grand Central Station. Then, we met up with our friend Vinnie for lunch at Ken & Cook on the LES (lower east side.. we were learning the lingo […]

We started off our day by taking the double decker bus to the Brooklyn Bridge. We walked over the length of it, hung around Brooklyn for a little bit, and then headed back to our apartment to get ready for a wedding. The reason for our New York trip was for Christina and Andy’s wedding. […]

Since we explored lower Manhattan the day before, we took the double-decker bus to upper Manhattan this time. We stopped at Central Park and rented bikes to bike around the park. Peter and I chose a tandem bike.. what a mistake! It was difficult to start biking and maintain balance. It felt like Peter was […]
