Vail, Colorado

Four beautiful days of powder! 2 hours after we left Colorado, a huuuuge blizzard hit and shut down the roads for 3 days. Talk about luck!



First run of the vacation!


The weather was TERRIBLE this day! We got caught in a snowstorm and couldn't see a thing


Where did the rest of the bench go?




last run!


hanging out in the Village

Yosemite

My family and Fei's family went camping at Yosemite before Fei's parents moved back to China. They failed to inform us that Fei's mom is OCD. Have you ever tried to camp with someone who's OCD? It's interesting.........

Rock climbing with my brother. Check out my big butt


My momma!

Scotland 2005

Elyse and I drank some crazy juice and did 9 cities in Scotland in 2 days. Only 5 pictures cause we were too busy running a muck.

I am viking hear me roar


it was SO COLD in Crieff. Check out this frozen spiderweb


My full Scottish breakfast. Also my first experience with Haggis, which I can safely say is the most disgusting thing I have ever tried. For those who don't know, Haggis is a traditional Scottish dish which consists of a mixture of the minced heart, lungs, and liver of a sheep stuff in the sheep's bladder. Totally disgusting, but I couldn't leave Scotland without trying it!


old school fish & chips! which tasted so much better than the haggis.

London 2005

Elyse, Joy, and I hopped a plane to London after our shenanigans in Paris

These phone booths smelled SO BAD!!!
