Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls
We did, we chased them. Six in total today during a 6.6 mile hike at Silver Creek Falls State Park. The falls were beautiful despite the 100 degree weather and we had a great group to hike with. In this case, I really think a picture (or video) is worth a thousand words… Our group before […]
Exploring Portland
We visit Oregon every couple of years, but we never seem to ever spend any time in Portland. So this trip we dedicated an entire day to experience just Portland. We arrived in Portland right at lunch time, so we went searching for one specific food truck that I’ve been waiting months to try. The […]
Oh how I dislike Southwest Airlines
I hate the unknown seating arrangements, and I hate that you have to check in exactly 24 hours before your flight to get in line to determine where you sit (which we failed to do this time…Section C it is!). At least the employees have a sense of humor with the whole process and we […]
Cancun for free?
A little over a year ago, my husband’s company started a new incentive program. Basically every quarter everyone votes for the people that they think worked the hardest, did the most for the company, helped out the most, etc. The top three employees are then given an all expenses paid trip to some undisclosed location […]
Home Sweet Home
We made it home last night and enjoyed sleeping in our own bed! Still a little jet legged today, but hopefuly we will be good for work tomorrow morning. Now would be the time for me to share how many miles we walked since I bought this really cool Jawbone Up bracelet that tracks all […]
Unplanned / "Restful" Day
Today was an extra day that we didn’t really have anything in particular planned except that we would continue to explore Edinburgh. What we didn’t anticipate is we didn’t really have much left to do (that we wanted to do, anyways)… Leading us to having a very unplanned and somewhat restful day. It was nice […]
Fieldtrip to ENGLAND!
To keep myself sane, and my journal organized, this is today’s post and the previous post is meant for yesterday’s adventures…. Today was a slow start as we were still dragging from the Tattoo yesterday, but we managed to make it to Alnwick Castle by noon which just so happens to be in ENGLAND. That […]
The Tattoo!!!!!
As I said in the last post, we didn’t get home until after midnight yesterday and were just too exhausted to even think about blogging. But it was well worth it! It was a very long day starting in Edinburgh at 9am. Our B&B is about a mile from town centre, but it is completely […]
What a Day!
It is past midnight here, and we are just getting home from being in Edinburgh since 9am. We are too exhausted to even look through pictures tonight. I’ll see what I can do about doing another post in the morning =) Tonight was our main attraction and the entire reason we planned a trip to […]
