18!

 This week I celebrated my eighteenth birthday! Here I am with my favorite carrot cake and my favorite parents (not that they have a whole lot of competition).

We also celebrated by going out to dinner at Sasa, a Japanese restaurant in the city! My dad and I got omakase, a chef's choice tasting menu with lots of courses. We were super excited when the first fish plates came, and had an amazing night.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my blog for the last eighteen years! It has been a joy to share and preserve the memories of my childhood. As such, this will be the last post. I wish everyone well and hope to look back upon this record fondly for years to come. Casey Jade, signing off.

Door County Visit!

This weekend I went to Door County to visit Mimi and Papi! We got to stop at Mars Cheese Castle along the way, then spent several days around Sturgeon Bay with them. I saw lots of beautiful wildlife in the parks and enjoyed this lovely view from the top of the tower!

Shopping Time!

 This weekend I accompanied Birdie to a few thrift stores looking for clothes! She's going to the University of Hawaii, so she needs lighter clothes. We found some sundresses for her. Our favorite shop on the trip also had furniture in the front. Alex enjoyed this chair very much.

Japantown Festival!

 This weekend I went to the Nihonmachi Street Fair in Japantown! It was their 50th year running the fair, so there were a ton of vendors along the street. We spent the whole day walking around and browsing the awesome art sold by local artists. I bought some keychains and a book, while Emma got a rug and Birdie got a shoulder bag! It was also really beautiful out, so we were happy to walk around for the whole day.
