Tsai Family of the Parklands

In July 2024, we traveled to Utah for our family reunion in St. George.  It was our first time we were able to attend Sofia's birthday in person since they left Maryland. We tried to hold our very first Grandparents' Camp.  We held it at the chapel.  We taught classes and even held an Olympics with the kids. The camp only lasted a day, after which I came down with COVID.  After getting better, we did go to the Desert Color resort near St. George for our family reunion.  We were able to relax.  The kids enjoyed the pools.  We met with our Branch friends, Zach and Maggie.    We watched Frozen at Tuacahn outdoor amphitheater.

Right after our Virginia trip, we came home, picked up Joshua, and drove straight to New York City.  Another bucket list item was to see a Broadway show.  We saw Wicked with Joshua.  We also ate lunch at the Famous Katz's diner and ate their pastrami on rye sandwich!

In August 2024, we visited the Bob and Jill Malczyk, friends from Schenectady, NY, long ago.  They took us to visit the campuses of Southern Virginia University (SVU) and Virginia Military Institute (VMI).  We were able to meet with part of their large family.
