I’m sad to say it took us nearly 5 years to visit one of our neighboring cities, Tacoma. We’ve driven through it tons on our way to Portland or Olympic National Park but stopping? Exploring? Meh… it always seemed like…
Every winter we talk about escaping the gray that is the PNW and heading somewhere warm and sunny. This year, we finally did it! Originally, I called it our makeup beach vacation from when I got sunburned and couldn’t actually…
Not only are the hills alive with the sound of cowbells, they are alive with the sound of me huffing and puffing my way up a mountain. Chris planned our adventures for the day. I requested we go hiking in…
