The Emerald City
Did you know that Seattle is nicknamed The Emerald City? No? Me either. Still not sure why, but sure, maybe Seattle is in the Land of Oz. Today we had the full experience of exploring Seattle after ferrying into the city, of course. First stop was Pike Place Market (holy busy). I’ve been told this is […]
Travel Day
We’ve arrived back in Seattle, which means today was mostly a travel day for us. However travel days still mean adventure! We headed south to Vancouver to visit the Capilano Suspension Bridge and ended up spending a couple hours there exploring the bridge, cliff walks, treetop adventures and the fudge =) But that ended our […]
Canoeing, Kayaking, Hiking, oh my.
Today was a bit of a lazy day which was nice. No set alarm waking up at 9:30 which was even nicer. The lodge we are staying at has a bunch of really nice amenities that we figured we should take advantage of, so after breakfast we headed out to the lake to do some […]
Today… We Flew.
We came to Canada to fly, and today we did just that. We decided we wanted to zipline on this trip months ago, and that is the reason we ended up in Whistler in the first place. Superfly Ziplines seemed to have the best views for the best price, and tripadvisor highly recommended them so […]
Hanging in a Volcano
Yesterday was an extremely long day, so journaling was just not an option when we arrived at our lodge last night. We departed Grandma’s house about 6:30am and were constantly on the go until 10:30 last night arriving in CANADA! The big pit stop along the way was Mt St Helens, of course. Kevin has […]
Happy Birthday to Me
I spent my birthday at the best place to ever spend your birthday… Grandma’s house. Especially when Grandma is a cake baker! We had to go about our day before I got the good stuff though, so to occupy our time we headed to Mary’s Peak which is really close to Philomath, Oregon. Grandma, Kevin […]
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 […]
