Adventures with Travel Gourmand: Pike Place Market & Snoqualmie Falls May 15, 2018

We spent our last day in Seattle exploring with Travel Gourmand (other bloggers that we didn’t get to meet, we’ll try and meet up next time, there’s a time and place for everything) and she surprised us with a dose of nature before we departed the west coast for good. We met Travel Gourmand (TG) […]

Smith Tower May 9, 2018

Smith Tower stands at 38 story (484ft/147.52m) in Pioneer Square and was completed in 1914. It was the tallest building west of the Mississippi River. In 1931, Kansas city Power and Light became the tallest building and in 1962 the Space Needle took the title. The building is a Seattle landmark. Named after firearm and […]

Seattle Underground with Beneath the Streets May 1, 2018

Beneath the streets of Pioneer Square lies the remnants of ‘Old Seattle’, where you can get a glimpse of the city’s early days. The Underground is a network of basements, tunnels, and passageways underneath Pioneer Square in downtown. On June 6, 1889, a cabinet maker accidentally lit up and overturned a glue pot. What ensued […]

Seattle April 10, 2018

Emily Carr House and Beacon Hill Park April 3, 2018

We had several hours to kill before we hopped on our ferry to Seattle. We’ve been wanting to see Craigdarroch Castle but didn’t want to spend our time indoors and decided to walk to Beacon Hill Park and have a look see at the Emily Carr House. December 13, 1871 marks the day Emily Carr […]

Sooke and the Creepy Door March 22, 2018

We were sad for our outdoor adventures to come to and end. We stopped in Sooke on our way back to Victoria hoping to see the resident bald eagles since wildlife was a bit scarce on this trip. Sooke is about an hour drive from Victoria. They have a thriving arts community and are known […]

Lower Avatar Grove March 16, 2018

Lower Avatar Grove was our favorite of the two, it seemed greener and quieter. Avatar Grove can be visited all year long, we were here in early October. The trails can be steep but it consists mostly of boardwalk so it’s not that bad. Someone with bad knees won’t be so happy. I didn’t mention […]
