Off the Grid

This weekend I had no cell phone, no computer, no Facebook, no Twitter, no Instagram…off the grid.  Completely. We went camping at Barlow Creek up near Mt. Hood and it was great.  In the history of our relationship, Chris and I have had 1 sunny weather camping trip with all the rest taking place inContinue Reading

5 miles, Paddle Boards, Brews, Bike Rides & Birthdays

Ok so you remember here how I talked about the perfect day? Well I was wrong. Yesterday truly was the perfect day. Pure bliss. A day that I will hopefully remember for many, many years to come. It also happened to be my father-in-law’s 59th birthday and I hope that when I turn 59 IContinue Reading

DaBob bay

Hi! I’m still around but I’m hanging out in paradise right now. Also known as DaBob Bay near the Hood Canal in Washington state. It’s only about an hour and a half from where I grew up but I had no idea this place existed. Chris’ aunt and uncle have a yurt up here andContinue Reading

Todos Santos in photos

I’ve finally gotten around to downloading all my Mexican vacation photos.  For more info about where we stayed head over to the Travel page.  Like I mentioned I was there for a wedding which was absolutely amazing.  If you’re looking for a place to get married in Mexico, I’d highly recommend this place. Todos SantosContinue Reading

Getting back into the swing of things

Hola!  After a couple of flight delays we made it home around midnight last night and I’ve spent the day trying to get back into a normal routine.  Smoothie and coffee for breakfast, quinoa salad for lunch and a Papa Murf’s Perfect currently cooking up in the oven…I mean, come on, I said normal routineContinue Reading

Working out on vacation

I think I seriously have summer on the brain.  “Summer” in the Pacific Northwest really doesn’t start until the 4th of July and the calendar says it doesn’t start until June 21st, but my brain will always associate it with June 1.  June = Summer.  And with summer, comes vacations.  And with vacations come lessContinue Reading

David Gray, moments, & healthy margaritas

Do you follow me on Twitter? If you don’t, you should – @whitlikesfit :) Plus, you’d know that I’m currently in Todos Santos (Baja peninsula) Mexico. One of our good friends is getting married on Saturday and we’re so excited to be part of her big day. We got into Cabo around 3 yesterday andContinue Reading

Day in pictures – Pacific City

This is my day Wine tasting at Willakenzie. A windy/rainy/hail-filled hike up a sand dune. Haystack Rock. Delicious cream ale at Pelican brew pub. The most amazing dessert – white chocolate creme brûlée with salted caramel crust and a hazelnut cookie.Continue Reading

Don’t go chasing waterfalls

Well, unlike the advice from TLC, we actually did. We headed out on the Road to Hana, knowing that we weren’t going to go all the way to the end (I get carsick and Chris has already done the whole thing). However we did want to swim in some waterfalls a la Tom Cruise inContinue Reading

Bliss

Earlier today I got an 80 min massage (Christmas present from Chris) and then we checked out the Westin Villas. Pretty interesting timeshare-like situation. Would love to own one. Then we headed to Maui Brewing where I drank some tasty Mana Wheat beers (brewed with Pineapple!) and ate the best meal since arriving – kahluaContinue Reading
