The Seattle Parikhs

  • Closing out 2020

    2020 was a lot like having a young child: the days were long but the months short. Unlike a standard year there wasn't a milestone vacation or family visit on the calendar to look forward to. Instead every day since... see more

  • Christmas in Hawaii

    This post was really late in coming for a lot of reasons, with the major one being just how weird life got after February of this year. I wish I lived in an era where history books would refer to... see more
