The Great Blizzard of 2014

By Washington Wandering on January 30, 2014February 11, 2022

We got about 8 inches of snow Tuesday night.  The Shipyard where I work was closed yesterday and today, so I’ve had plenty of time to enjoy this winter wonderland. Mike drove up from Aiken on Tuesday and we’ve got to unload our Uhaul once the streets are safe.  We’re keeping all of our stuff

Third Annual Oktobertfest

By Washington Wandering on October 29, 2013

Our third annual trip to Oktoberfest went swimmingly.  We met Joe and Renee in Helen on Friday around dinner time, and after a few beers at Konig Ludwig Bier Garten, we headed to the Hiedelberg to eat.  This place has the best Schnitzel and Spaetzel, but if you don’t get there early you’ll end up

Bringing Home a Puppy

By Washington Wandering on October 21, 2013February 11, 2022

I don’t think I need to explain my weak spot for animals.  My Instagram is saturated with pet pictures.  Given the resources, my dream would be to own a lot of land and open up a no-kill animal shelter, whiling away the hours making sure all the lost, dejected, and unwanted animals know what it

Exploring Aiken: Hitchcock Woods

By Washington Wandering on August 27, 2013February 11, 2022

Sometimes I forget how easy it is to go exploring.  I don’t have to drive for several hours to find some place new.  Hitchcock Woods is essentially in our backyard and every time I go it’s different.  Last time I was in the woods was when Megan came to visit. Sunday afternoon I took Bella

A Letter to My Dog

By Washington Wandering on August 22, 2013February 11, 2022

Dear Bella, You will be six years old in February.  I guess that makes sometime this month your half birthday.  I remember the day I brought you home from the hospital middle of nowhere.  I’d driven about an hour outside of Tallahassee to pick you up from some nice people.  They found you and your sister

Visiting Michigan: Bay City & Lake Huron

By Washington Wandering on August 10, 2013February 11, 2022

After our mini adventure in Frankenmuth, we kept heading north on I-75 until we got to the town of Bay City.  I just didn’t feel right driving all the way to Michigan and not seeing one of the Great Lakes.  We stopped in Bay City because I needed ice cream.  Then we got back in

Visiting Michigan: Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland

By Washington Wandering on August 9, 2013February 11, 2022

Did you guys know Christmas is my favorite holiday?  When I found out about Bronner’s I knew I couldn’t leave Michigan without visiting.  I didn’t think it was going to be possible because initially I thought it was just too far from where we were staying.   But after some sleuthing on MapQuest I realized

Visiting Detroit: Go Tigers!

By Washington Wandering on August 8, 2013February 11, 2022

We had a few spare hours one afternoon, so Mike, Chris, and I went to Detroit to catch a Tigers’ game.  They were playing the Washington Nationals and it was neat to be there because I have some ties to DC.  Detroit blew the Nats out of the water – the final score was 1

Visiting Michigan: Old Town Lansing

By Washington Wandering on August 7, 2013February 11, 2022

So we spent a few days in Michigan last week.  It was my first time to that part of the country, and also my first time that far north.  We drove through North Carolina, Kentucky, and Ohio, and it was my first time to see Ohio, too!  We stopped for gas somewhere near Bowling Green

Advice for Wedding Planning

By Washington Wandering on August 3, 2013February 11, 2022

Mike and I have been in Michigan all week and are attending a wedding today in Davison!  I love weddings, though there’s always a part of me that compares every wedding I’ve been to with my own.  Mike and I had a medium sized wedding.  We invited more than 200 people and around 150 RSVPd

I found an old blog post the other day where I’d written, “If you’re happy, show it. If you’re sorry, say it. Feelings aren’t meant to be fought, they’re meant to be felt.” A beautiful January weekend in Western Washington meant taking the time to enjoy this perfect sunshine + mountain + water combination. It’s happening 🥰❄️🥶 Have you see enough photos captioned “Fall in the North Cascades” yet? No? Good because here’s another. 😅🥹💛 Not quite peak but just as pretty! 🧡💛💚 Someone call Owen Wilson I could use a solid “wow” right about now. 😍 Up, up, up we go! Home from our 2025 Marmoteering adventure in @olympic_nps. We hiked in from Obstruction Point on Wednesday afternoon and spent all day Thursday and Friday surveying marmot habitat trying to determine whether certain areas were occupied or abandoned. We were only able to reach two of our three assigned clusters this year because of the challenging off-trail navigation, steep terrain and bear activity we encountered while trying to access the third one. Hopefully one of the later volunteer groups has better luck. But we did see a lot of marmots this year, as well as some abandoned burrows and a TON of mountain beaver activity. And best of all, it didn’t rain a single drop. 😅 We love this little spot along the River 🥰🌲
