Celebrating my guy for his birthday a few weeks ago 😍. Extra special to be back in Big Sur almost exactly 10 years after getting engaged on the top of Cone Peak. We traded that adventure for wine with lunch and pool time this visit, but I think I’m finally ready for Stone Ridge part deux. You can see it in the distance in the photo looking south. Savoring these rare trips just the two of us and only mildly in denial about Dylan’s upcoming extended trip. 😉🤍

Happy happy 40th birthday to my favorite person @dylanbo Feels like yesterday I was debating whether your 25 years was too old to date. Thank god I took a chance on the elder statesman 😉 Too many memories to capture here but my gratitude to grow old together is eternal. I love you so much. Go wish this guy a happy birthday! Time to celebrate! 🤍

3 years. You make life so dang fun and funny I can hardly stand it. Witnessing your acquisition of knowledge and language has truly been life’s greatest joy. Looking back at my post from your second birthday, I can’t believe how much has changed. You started the year still a chunky little toddler and enter this next year as a full blown human. Last year was a big year filled with shattered teeth, emergency room visits, lots of adventures, travel, new friends, and so. many. laughs. Your sense of humor is… chef’s kiss. I love that you have an enormous Harry Potter scar on your forehead that’s barely visible now but is a badass reminder of your love for extreme play ™️. I love that you are missing your front teeth. I love that you roll in dirt, go barefoot and play outside, constantly tripping, falling and laughing 24/7. I love that you have long, luscious curls. I love that you still take tremendously long naps but have the energy of a thousand gsps when you’re awake. I love that you continually demand that your dad (or me or Kim and Topher 😂) talk on the microphone while you pretend to be a ‘running people’. I love that you love flying, make friends on planes and constantly ask about the ‘piolets’. I love that you eat French fries with chopsticks. I love that any time you spill something you immediately shout “but that’s okay!” even when you’ve intentionally spilled it 😉. I love that you bake bread every week and sing songs about punching down the dough. I love that you say ‘Ciao Bella’ randomly and with great frequency. I love that you now say cu-buz instead of because. I love that you’re obsessed with helping. I love that the only present you wanted for your birthday was a cake, some ice cream and maybe some potatoes. Too many sweet and funny moments to capture but I’m already missing this moment in time while I still have it. Three is the age for me. If you know how to freeze time, plz DM me with deets. Here’s to watching the whirlwind of time pass with awe and wonder. Swipe to the (bitter) end for a coupla fav videos.🤍

Hard to find the words to describe one of the most transformative weeks of my life. What a mind bogglingly wild and crazy and amazing experience. 39 new best friends whose hearts I’ll hold in mine for a lifetime. I’m still in awe of the beauty of it all. The ritual and the choreography. Fucking perfect. Thank you @hoffmanprocess for reconnecting me with the light of humanity and the brilliance of the universe that lives within us all. Thank you for letting me give my son the greatest gift I could never have expected or imagined. And thank you for letting me now share this incredible experience with my 🤍 @dylanbo . Must fun catch up convo ever after returning home. 😅 A special shoutout to @therealreginalouise Thank you for holding space for us all week. You are a fabulous queen whose story will inspire me forever. I’ve always been afraid of geese, aggressively protecting their flock. As a flock descended upon my hotel Friday night, I’ve never felt such deep peace. Endlessly grateful to now be part of the flock.🪿Honk🪿

Going to Mexico with 20 friends in January was not on my 2025 bingo card, but here we are. That was so fun! Highlights include seeing whales frolicking right off the shore, running in Bosque de Chapultepec, finally meeting the infamous Chris Ergen 👀, breaking Dry January tradition for the first time in a decade with enough margaritas to last a lifetime, and hucking discs with Dillz. Jason, please have a birthday here every year! Swipe to the last video for why I’ve also never been more excited to go home 😭

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Bowman family. Two GSPs, a toddler, and a small business — life is full and rich! Love you all. ❤️

The perfect week to start a new year. Insane temps in the Bay meant hitting my personal record in beach visits. In just 7 days, we visited our favorite Sausalito beach, Cavallo Point, Muir, Stinson, a secret beach in Tomales Bay, Dillon (obvz) and culminated it all with an early birthday at Nick’s Cove. Every night last week after work we’d head to a new beach, Saturday was a two beach day, and every night we came home exhausted and happy. We celebrated Sunday night and at dinner culled through the year’s highlights and lowlights of which there were many. It helped me remember what’s important and my only goals for this upcoming year are 1️⃣ More beach trips! 2️⃣ More sunsets! 3️⃣ More trail time with friends! 4️⃣ More friends and family time in beautiful places near and far! 5️⃣ More time on airplane more! Bonus: more clapping for myself after all things like in the last video 😅. Doesn’t need to be profound or groundbreaking to be exactly what’s needed 🤍

I love that you are the Ratatouille of babies and have impeccable taste in food. I love that you shattered the sh*t out of your front tooth last weekend and then while we waited for the emergency dentist you tried to somersault off the coach and do it again. I love that you say “hi people” and wave like a Thanksgiving day parade princess whenever you board a plane. I love that you absolutely love brushing your teeth and sometimes sleep with your toothbrush. I love that your new favorite phrase is ‘horse polo one more’ since your guilty pleasure is watching horse polo highlight reels on YouTube. I love that you love ‘Mini & Feef’ and patos and doats and cows. I love that every time you see another kid you point and say “friend!”. I love that you’ve made your impatient parents slightly less impatient. I love that you’re the embodiment of following by example and could gab into a mic all day long. I love that you love to stop on walks and dig in the dirt. I love that you love watering plants and hunting for worms and gardening together. I love that you are absolutely huge and shirts simply don’t fit over your enormous head. I love that you’re missing your front tooth and look like a miniature pirate. I love that you have softened your dad and made me love him even more. I love that you love a good outfit and like picking out cute shoes to wear. I love that if you’re advanced in one area it’s your love for sharing. I love that you’ll probably hate trail running but you love the outdoors and your meltdowns usually result from having to go inside. I love how much you love poles. I love that you give kisses, hold hands and say ‘amo’ unprompted. I love that you’ve been able to travel the world with us since you were a month old. I love that you’ve brought Jessie into our lives. I love that you speak Spanish. I love that you love horses more than trucks and obsess about them 24/7. I love that you made your dad and I parents and made our family complete. I love that you’re so f*ing funny and fun to hang out with. You are the best thing to happen to us and we love you dearly. Mostly I love that you made me a mom. Best journey ever. Happy 2nd birthday sweet boy. Amo 🤍

A quick stop in Leogang to accidentally catch the Mountain Biking World Cup, play with some more farm animals, and realize the painful truth that traveling this far with a 2 year old is supremely not smart. Even the farms here will take your kid for the entire day… once they are 3. 😂 Thank you to the waitress who took so much pity on us at dinner she babysat Rhodes the entire next day so we could attempt to relax before the trip home. Truly the most exhausting week of relaxation ever but it sure was beautiful! Auf Wiedersehen, Austria👋

The most magical place of all! Roughly ten years ago, when the algorithms were just taking off and learning to send me anything that combined the key words “organic farm” and “scenic sauna”, I discovered this little hotel in the middle of rural Austria. It’s just outside Kitzbühel and I was certain I’d never go, though I secretly always hoped I would. When Dylan decided to race at Mozart, I of course had to google map it justttt in case it wasn’t too far. Lo and behold it was an easy drive from Salzburg and they had one room remaining. The fates aligned and it did not disappoint! Never have I seen a more spectacular farm that simultaneously mixes relaxation and family fun. In the US, those things are almost always mutually exclusive. But here, the kids had it best of all. There was a kid farm (which is apparently common here) — basically a giant petting zoo of ponies and bunnies where you can drop your kids to spend the entire day, a horse arena attached to the bar so that kids could enjoy live Horse TV ™️, and the restaurant included a panoramic window to the cows eating so all the kids were glued there while the parents enjoyed themselves. Though traveling with kids is far from relaxing, beyond exhausting and honestly horrific at times, I can’t begin to explain how special it was to spend a few nights as a family at this magical slice of Austrian hospitality. The hotel has been family operated for over 400 years (🤯) and the 80 year old owner was there working hard every day. A sweet moment of rest and rejuvenation. 10 photos isn’t nearly enough but had to include the butter machine in the collection since it was a highlight of the trip for me. Danke @stanglwirt 💓

Love being a mom to you! Please always enseñar your poncito a mama 😆❤️

Dogs and babies and springtime and at long last, sunshine.
