We love snow so much, but we don't get it very often here in Washington. So when we had a mini snow storm on Bainbridge Island back in February, we were all (including the pups) excited!

Hey everyone! I can't believe it has been almost a full year since we've posted on this blog! Our short-term break became a long-term one because the pandemic put an unfortunate halt on all our travels. However, it didn't stop us from making some big changes in our lives like we moved from Seattle to Bainbridge Island, and we got a new puppy!

Hey everyone! First of all, we hope you all are doing well and staying safe during this difficult time! We are without a doubt, so deeply saddened by how this pandemic has affected the world in so many ways. We can only hope the devastation that has plagued our communities will end soon, but for now we continue to do our part and stay home. So today, with our future trips on a temporary hold...we are sharing with you more of our past trip to the Oregon Coast...a place we hope to visit again when life gets back to some sort of normal.

A few months ago, we were looking for a relaxing place to stay when visiting the Oregon Coast...a place we've never been but always wanted to visit! So after doing some research for hotels that would check all the boxes when finding the coziest home away from home, we happily ended up staying at a luxurious oceanfront lodge called the Headlands Coastal Lodge and Spa!

Hey everyone! We wanted to share some exciting news that our dog Prana has reached quite the milestone...she just turned one years old!

Who doesn't love waterfalls? How about more than 90 waterfalls in a deep canyon amongst a rain forest like setting? That is what you get to experience at the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon...a place that drew us in immediately when we visited last fall!

Hey everyone! We can't believe it is almost the end of the year and that winter is fast approaching! We love the cold and Prana does too with her thick poodle hair, but the shortened days are a bit depressing when it starts getting dark at around 4:30 pm. In fact, the very few hours of daylight we get makes traveling much more difficult (unless we want to become experts at night photography). So in our attempt to ignore the inevitable wet and gloomy days here in Seattle, we thought we would share a continuation of our previous post in which we spent a gorgeous sun filled trip in the Mount Baker Snoqualmie National Forest and found ourselves on this appropriately named trail called Artist Ridge!

Fall season always has us craving frequent trips to the mountains where the air becomes cool and crisp (perfect for Prana since she is not a fan of hot weather)...and the change of colors make the landscape so beautifully vivid! In fact, it is one of our favorite times of the year to go hiking which is why in early September, we made our way to Mount Baker Snoqualmie National Forest (one of the most beautiful national forests in Washington state, in our opinion) to see Picture Lake!

We've always wanted to visit the Big Four Ice Caves in Washington, so after finding out that this was a dog friendly trail and only a two hour drive from Seattle...we finally decided to make our way to the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest and visit this natural wonder!

Ski slopes are not just for skiing! That is something we learned when we visited the amazing Lodge Lake trail near Snoqualmie Pass, a mountain area about an hour outside of Seattle!

Hey everyone! Today we wanted to share with you Prana's first visit to the mountains!

We are always in the mood for spectacular ocean views, which is why we immediately fell in love with Fort Ebey State Park when we visited Whidbey Island!
