Whidbey day trip

By

Scott has been super keen on looking at vacation properties on Whidbey Island, so we did a last minute trip the other day. It's been a long long time since we've gone and explored the island so it was pretty fun to drive around to the various neighborhoods.

The highlights:
- Penn Cove Brewery has not one, not two, but THREE taprooms on the island! I have never even heard of them before this trip! We stopped by one of them and while it was chilly/breezy out, there was lots of open space for the kids to run around. The food from the food truck was on the expensive side, but it was pretty tasty and we had some fun beers to try.
- For Ebey State Park is a neato place that we will want to go back to for sure. We've done the hike on Ebey's bluff  before and this was a different part of the park, and just as beautiful. Definitely someplace to explore some more.
- Whidbey Island Ice Cream
- Exploring DoubleBluff beach. I'm not sure why it's called this, but the girls had a ton of fun riding their driftwood boat in the little water shallows.

I love that this guy photo bombed us!

Happy new year!!

By
Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

Cousins trip: Banff!

By
Just 2 weeks ago I was in the beautiful town of Banff enjoying girl time with my cousins and taking in the picturesque landscape and now I'm holed up in front of my computer doing work. Oh how I wish I could go back! This was my second trip to Banff (first time was back in 2019 on a roadtrip with the family ) and I got to check out other parts of this beautiful National Park while laughing it up with these girls to celebrate Frances' big birthday..  We all met up at Calgary airport on Friday morning and after a quick lunch at Calan Noodles for hand-made beef noodle soup (yum!), we hopped in our rental car and drove the 90 minutes to Banff. I was surprised and impressed at how easy the drive was - even easier than driving to Whistler because of the wide and well maintained freeway.  That first afternoon in Banff we walked around town and did some shopping before making our way to Brazen, a bistro serving "Modern Canadian" fare. What's Modern Canadian you ask? We di...

Glass art

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.
