My toddler and I spent almost 12 hours in Seattle’s Centurion Lounge and lived to tell the tale. And then a week later we did it again. I’m the world’s best procrastinator. Case in point, we had made the decision to visit New York City several months before I got around to looking for flight […]

Last year, my family and I headed back to New York to visit places and friends we had left behind two years earlier when we relocated to Honolulu. We also were excited to enjoy the colder weather that the east coast could provide. Instead, a heatwave left us sweltering in nearly 100-degree weather. We ended up […]

Cause we’re rotten… to the core.
💞 La Vie 💞
A couples weeks ago we made it to the opening night of Orchids at the @halekulanihotel . I wanted to bring Em but was worried about what would happen if we were greeted with a tasting menu only option. While the waiter said their preference was for guests to order off of the tasting menu, they also were providing many of the dishes a la cart as well, which was perfect for Em to slowly eat her way through while the rest of the party had the tasting menu.
Happy national daughter’s day to all the daughters out there, but especially to my partner in crime this summer as we spent our lazy Saturday afternoons trying out various restaurants as ladies who lunch. @ruscellohawaii ended up being my daughter’s favorite spot and she begged us to go back over and over again. Between the views (from their outside dining area), the crayons and activity book menu, and a delicious take on one of her favorites (mac and cheese), it was a clear winner in her book. And any place where I can get good food, great service and a happy child-dining partner is a clear win in my book as well.
There was a media event when @restaurant_av first opened that a bunch of IG accounts I follow attended and posted about. The mouth watering pictures they posted on IG were still in my mind a couple hours later when my husband asked me “where do you want to go to celebrate your birthday?” Excitedly, I threw out the name #avrestaurant . He made the reservations but proceeded on teasing me for the next two weeks about how I, lover of all things meat and cheese, was going to celebrate my birthday at an all-vegan tasting menu restaurant. As we drove to dinner last night, I threw the question back at my husband of where he wanted to eat for his birthday. He named a bunch of steak restaurants as potential options. I jokingly said, “maybe we should hold off deciding until we try AV. You never know… you may pick it for your dinner.” He laughed and gave a jokingly “sure… we’ll see.”
Never forget. ❤️🇺🇸❤️
