  • Trading the Vancouver rain for hot, sunny weather in February!? Yes please!With all its restaurants, bars, shopping, and walkable ‘old town’ a city that was once best known for golf and retirees is quickly gaining popularity as a sunny weekend getaway — especially for girls’ trips and bachelorettes. ⠀⠀ ——— Some highlights from our weekend getaway: - Hiking Camelback Mountain - Walking around the charming Old Town - “Entertainment District” for nightlife - Healthy eats at @ilovefarmandcraft and @true_food_kitchen for healthy eats (we went twice!) - Lounging poolside at our Airbnb . . . . . . . . .

  • Exploring a new-to-me neighborhood in Seattle: Fremont. Here’s what we spent the afternoon doing: 1) Checked out @FremontBrewing for a craft beer beer flight. 2) Visited the @Theochocolate factory store for lots of tasty chocolate samples. 3) @FremontMischiefDistillery for whiskey tasting. Their “storm tossed” rye whiskeys are barrel aged in the fishing boats that carry fishermen up north to catch Alaskan king crab — depending on the conditions of the waves, temperature, etc, the whiskeys all returned with a different flavour. . . . . . . #seattle #seattlelife #seattlewashington #fremontseattle #seattlelove #seattlemade #girlslovetravel #igersvancouver #vancouverblogger #seattlelife #shoplocal #whatiwore #traveldiary
