Viva Las Vegas!

“Holiday RoooOOOooooad…” the classic song echoed as Dave and I belted it out late Thursday night. Paired with some ridiculous dance moves, we packed for our own little Holiday Road over to Las Vegas. Our friends from New York would be there for World’s Toughest Mudder so we figured why not go? We never miss…

Best of the West: Oregon to California

Rise and shine! Outside the drawn hotel curtains, I could hear the birds talking to one another and letting everyone else know; it was time for a new day. The sun was barely peeking in as the clouds blocked most of her light. Inside our room it was quiet, dark and cold. I was awake…

The Ends of the Earth.

Thursday, June 11th, Dave and I loaded up the little Jetta, bid our farewells to Seattle and headed down the Pacific Coast Highway toward San Diego. It was a trip most only dream about, yet here we were, driving the Pacific Coast. We woke up with the sun, because I of course, was as anxious…

More Sweet Than Bitter.

The day has come! It feels like it was always just a distant daydream that would never arrive. The highs and lows of the last 10 months have given some of the most intense feelings and emotions in my life but every single step was a lesson in one way or another. Life as we…

Seattle Showers, April Flowers.

For just an hour drive from Seattle and five dollars you can spend a beautiful day in Holland! Just kidding- but you can get the next closest thing The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. Cruising the I-5, about 60 miles north of Seattle, are the stunning fields of tulips, daffodils and colorful goodness. Whoever said that…

Vancouver: Such Great Heights

When two separate “ships” merge and decide to form a relationship, there are plenty of things the new ‘ship’ must agree and compromise on. Of course, every ‘ship’ has it’s own thing that the two just can’t seem to see eye to eye on, for mine and Dave’s ship- it’s milk. We just cannot seem…

Rainy Days in Vancouver

Good morning, Vancouver! The dark and grey clouds hovered over the waterfront and the remnants of rain were left sprinkled upon the morning city streets. I was hoping for a bright and sunny day- but who was I kidding, this was the Pacific Northwest. Those days, although growing by week, were far and few between.…

Oh, Canada… Vancouver Part 1.

Last weekend, David and I decided to cross the border and visit our neighbors to the north: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Neither of us had ever been before but had heard it’s better than Seattle- as far as beauty goes. We were about to see- but I’m pretty partial to my beautiful little city. Thankfully,…

San Francisco Part 2.

After we left our shows in Berkeley, we naturally had to go get some In ‘n’ Out Burger before parking the Tahoe for a nights rest. With the mix of the stubbornness that is our friendship, the over tiredness from the weekend and the aching bodies from dancing we were quickly frustrated with the lack of planning…

Berkeley, CA.

I felt the cool Northern California breeze rush through my bones as it snuck its way into my sleeping bag. I shivered and rolled over, amused by the sight of my friends all piled up together in the middle of Berkeley. Only a few crazies would do this, but I’m glad those crazies were my…
