Visiting Washington D.C.

By Washington Wandering on March 11, 2013February 11, 2022

You can catch up with part 1 here. After lunch it was finally time to do what Taylor had been looking forward to all day. The Wax Museum… I guess we got tired of the city, maybe because of the weather or possibly impractical footwear decisions, but we spent the afternoon out enjoying some scenery

Letter to me at 23

By Washington Wandering on February 22, 2013November 19, 2018

Dear Me at 23, I know you’re not a huge fan right now, but things change.  They may change slowly, but they change. You never really notice differences on a day to day basis, but when looking back, it’s hard to ignore the space between who you are in the present and who you are

Visiting Los Angeles

By Washington Wandering on January 22, 2013November 19, 2018

On Saturday, Kelsey (AKA BFFFFFF&F) drove up from San Diego to see me! We ate an early (and long) lunch in downtown Pasadena at a place called Slaters 50/50. Their burger patty was made from 50% ground beef and 50% ground bacon. Yes. You read that right. Afterwards we decided to visit Griffith Park Observatory

Visiting Snowshoe West Virginia

By Washington Wandering on December 30, 2012February 11, 2022

It’s New Year’s Eve Eve. The day after tomorrow will be 2013. It’s weird how quickly the year seems to have passed when you’re looking back from the tail end of it. When we got to Snowshoe on Sunday, it was cold and windy but there was little to no snow in the forecast. In

Our trip to Helen

By Washington Wandering on October 22, 2012February 11, 2022

Our trip to Helen started off on Friday night after a pretty entertaining run in with a pair of drunken old ladies. They walked up to us, asked if we were drinking, and then poured the last few sips of their beers into my cup. I must look like the type that enjoys drinking strangers’

Oktoberfest

By Washington Wandering on October 19, 2012February 11, 2022

This weekend we are Helen, GA bound for our second annual trip to Oktoberfest in the cutest Alpine village that’s not actually in the Alps. The fact that this place exists is amazing. They serve beer in boots and have warm pretzels with beer cheese. It’s also the perfect time of year to catch some

The Cats of Athens

By Washington Wandering on July 31, 2012February 11, 2022

One of the greatest (and saddest) parts of our trip to Greece was being constantly surrounded by kitties. They were all super skittish and didn’t want anything to do with my unsolicited petting, but I still always tried. I wanted so badly to save them all! Pretty much every part of the city is inhabited

Parco Termale Negombo – Ischia

By Washington Wandering on July 24, 2012February 11, 2022

Our last day in Italy was the most relaxing, by far. It was definitely a nice way to end my two week stay, and I’m sure my Aunt and Cousin enjoyed themselves. Negombo is a thermal park on the island of Ischia. It gives the illusion of being secluded – it’s surrounded on three sides

Mini Cruise to Positano

By Washington Wandering on July 23, 2012February 11, 2022

After our exhausting 2-day Rome excursion, we enjoyed a much needed “day of rest” at my dad’s. On Sunday, our second to last day in Italy, my aunt, cousin, and I spent several hours enjoying a mini cruise to Positano. We met our tour bus at the Naval base and then boarded our boat at

The Trip To Rome that Almost Wasn’t…

By Washington Wandering on July 18, 2012February 11, 2022

So. We went to Rome on Thursday. We woke up at 5:30 AM, drove to the NATO base, and walked to the metro. All under the presumption that we had plentyyyy of time to catch the metro downtown where we’d switch trains to the Eurostar for Rome. We stood at the Metro station for close

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 🥰🌲
