May was a really busy month and wedding season really kicked off. First was my bachelorette party, then my future matron-of-honor's bridal shower, and then we ended the month going to her bachelorette party. It was so much fun to get some of my closest friends together. I rarely get the chance to travel with my friends so I'll cherish the memories we made forever. I learned all over again how special my friendships are and am super thankful for these people. We flew to LAX on Thursday evening so naturally the only thing that we really did the first night was go to In-N-Out. No trip to California is complete without some animal style fries and a burger. We tried to sleep at a reasonable hour to prep for Disney day but I couldn't sleep! I think I was too excited. The next morning, after a coffee run, we were off to Anaheim for Disneyland. Surprisingly the traffic wasn't too bad however we started seeing some raindrops. LA has been uncharacteristically gloomy lately but this group of Washington gals didn't even blink an eye. Disneyland Day Disneyland was so much fun - I mean, duh. But honestly the weather was perfect because we weren't ever too hot and I think it caused the … [Read more...]
Lisbon, Portugal Travel Guide
A quick note before you start reading this post..this is going to be a lengthy one. I have hundreds of photos but alas, no one has time for that (not even me) so I've tried to consolidate them to the best of my ability. In this post you'll find the names to many places we visited including where we stayed in Lisbon. If you ever have the chance to visit Portugal, do it. You won't regret it. Where to Stay One of my favorite hotel experiences I've had was in Portugal. We stayed at the Memmo Alfama Hotel which is more of trendy, boutique hotel tucked in the old streets of Lisboa. It's several hundred dollars a night however there are some reasonable priced rooms if you don't have a view. I do think it's worth the extra money though because these views were from our room! You can also enjoy the view from the outdoor bar and pool. Unfortunately the pool wasn't open in November but this would be a great spot in the summer! The hotel has a complimentary breakfast buffet but this is not your ordinary lame hotel breakfast, y'all. Not only does the cute Smeg fridge have fresh squeezed juices and yogurts, there are a ton of other options set out buffet style and each table has a … [Read more...]
Taking the Clipper to Victoria B.C. & Travel Guide!
Years ago, I went to Victoria B.C. with my family in the summertime and we loved it. The summers are so mild and the city has so much history. When I moved to Seattle for college I went back to Canada multiple times with friends because it was just a short drive away. Now that I'm graduated and have settled into Seattle as my permanent home, Jared and I still want to travel to Canada since it's so close. We talked about visiting Victoria several times but never did it because it seemed like a lot of effort to get there, being that Victoria is at the southern tip of an island. Finally at the end of 2018 when we talked more about where we'd like to travel in the new year, I decided to surprise Jared with a trip to Victoria! My surprise was made super easy with the help of Clipper Vacations. I am so glad that we chose to take the Clipper to Victoria and am excited to share more about out trip with you! Why I Recommend Clipper Vacations Clipper Vacations runs a passenger-only ferry service between Seattle and Victoria. You'll depart from Pier 69 in downtown Seattle's waterfront which is a quick ride from where we live in CapHill. The journey takes just under three hours … [Read more...]
