I cannot imagine a better month than April. Starting with a quick trip to Paris and ending with a week in California, it was a month that I won’t soon forget.

March although a long month felt like it was over in a blink of an eye. Both Jenn and I started the month sick but by the end, we were both on our way to Paris and ready for our first “vacation” since the Maldives in September.

February was a crazy busy month that feels like it’s just starting to open the floodgates to what’s going to be a busy year with no sign of slowing down anytime soon.

After a great end to 2021, we started off 2022 with a bang. From two incredible operas, to an eight-course chef’s table tasting menu, to two big snowstorms this month had it all.

Last year was such a hard year. No matter how you cut it, coming out of 2020 all you could do is feel like you were fortunate to come out of it with your health and sanity. Unfortunately, it wasn’t like the pandemic decided that with a new President and a change of the calendar year everything would magically disappear. Although not the raging panic that it was in New York City in March of 2020, much of 2021 was still dominated by COVID.

Before our flight home from California this year I sent Jenn two tasks to complete. Ranking all of the TV shows we watched in 2021 and this prompt, our favorite things from 2021. I go back and look at these posts as much if not more than the year-in-reviews because it’s so interesting to see how our tastes change and evolve over time. And so without further ado here are our favorite things from 2021.
