📍Explore the charming town of Leavenworth, WA!

📍Explore the charming town of Leavenworth, WA!

🍺🏔We had such a great time visiting this town! The architecture and theme of the town is modeled after a Bavarian village. It has delicious food, great hikes and fun shops. We are already planning a trip back to explore their Christmas Market!

What new place have you discovered this year?

Some great things to do in Leavenworth:

🛍Spend the day wandering in the shops and art galleries in town. Enjoy a horse drawn carriage ride and local artists playing at the gazebo. They also have a fun nutcracker museum as well!

🌲Get out and explore! There are some great hikes in the area. And if you don't want to go too far, you can take a walk along the riverfront and then explore Blackbird Island. You can walk to this trail right from town.

🥨And our favorite, explore some the amazing restaurants in town! Not only do they have amazing food, but we got to hear a couple of local bands and play bingo one night too. Total win for us! A couple of our favorite places were @argocoffeeandbiscuits and @bearbear_pnw!

📍Sunrise in Anacortes, WA

Traveling with others this summer? We often travel with friends or family, and something that has made our trips better is knowing everyone's travel style. 🏞️🚶‍♀️🏰

Do they like to stay active, or do they prefer sleeping in? Having a group chat about it before your trip makes a world of difference!

I'm a pretty active traveler and love getting to places early. As an introvert, I feel more relaxed with fewer people around and enjoy leaving before places get super crowded. Whether it's hiking trails, theme parks, or just strolling through town, I always plan to be there early.

What’s your travel style?

💫Icicle Gorge Trail 💫

When your friends let you plan the weekend getaway and you make them go hiking.

They all did end up having a great time and it was really beautiful!

This trail is pet friendly, easy and not too long. We got there early in the day, so didn't see too many people on the trail until we were finishing up the loop.

What do you like to do on vacation with friends?

Trail Info:

💦This is an easy 4 mile loop trail that goes along the river for part of the trail. The last 2 miles of road to get the the trailhead are on a one lane gravel road, so be prepared.

💰It does cost $5 per vehicle to hike unless you have a Northwest Forest Pass or Interagency Pass.

🌲There is a bathroom at the trail head as well as a picnic table. The trail is well defined and has a couple of interpretive signs as well about the area.

💫Summer Activity Idea💫

Check out public arboretums or gardens in your area for a fun way to spend some time outside.🌸🌳🌻

This is especially great if you just want a quick morning or afternoon outing without a lot of planning. I like to go earlier in the morning, there tends to be less crowds!

☀🍽Be sure to pack your sunscreen, a blanket and a lunch! Enjoy the summer day outside with some beautiful scenery.

What is a fun and affordable way do you explore your city?

We have both an arboretum and public gardens close to us, so we have some great options all year long!

🌲Washington Park, Anacortes, WA! 🌲 Anacort

🌲Washington Park, Anacortes, WA! 🌲

Anacortes is one of our favorite places in Washington and we really enjoyed our recent trip out there. This visit we explored some of Washington Park and it was fantastic!

We walked the 2.2 mile loop in the park and explored the beach area. We even saw a couple of porpoises! If you're in the area, you should check this park out!

What is one of your favorite cities that you like to visit?

Some Fun Facts:

🏞️ With over 220 acres of natural beauty, park offers more than just hiking trails and beaches. There is also a covered picnic area, campsites and a boat launch.

🚗The park has a scenic 2.2 paved loop, showcasing panoramic vistas of the San Juan Islands and Olympic Mountains! You can walk it or you can also drive it during certain hours of the day. It has some pull out areas where you can stop and explore too. If you have the time, I recommend walking it. It's not that long and it's really beautiful.

🐋There are tons of different animals you can spot from the shore here, like otters, porpoises and sometimes even whales. There are plenty of places to stop and take in the view to try to spot them!

🌷Tulip Festival in Skagit Valley🌷 Part 2 –

🌷Tulip Festival in Skagit Valley🌷

Part 2 - More Tulips! In addition to visiting Tulip Town, we also visited the other tulip farms in the area and went to the Tulip Festival Street Fair in Mt Vernon. We happened to go on the weekend of peak bloom - it was really spectacular and really busy!

What is your favorite event that has lived up to the hype?

🌷Check out our blog for more on visiting the Tulip Festival!

Some tips for visiting the Tulip Festival:

🚙Get there early - The festival averages over a million visitors a year! So be prepared to get there early. This was our strategy and we never had to wait in the long line of cars waiting to get in.

👒Be prepared for the weather - It's the PNW, you never know when it will rain! One day we were there and it was sunny and the next was windy & drizzly. Bring at least a windbreaker or sweatshirt so you can enjoy the tulips longer in colder weather. I definitely saw people who weren't prepared!

🍫Make time to visit the surrounding towns - There are some great farm stands and shops you can check out after you see the tulips. One of our favorites was @fortechocolates in Mt Vernon, the chocolate was amazing - the best salted caramels we have ever had!

🌷Tulip Festival in Skagit Valley, WA🌷

We had an amazing time at the Tulip Festival this year, it was our 1st year going but hopefully not our last!

What new event you have tried this year?

💛 A highlight for all of us was going to the mini workshop that @tuliptown offers. It was such a fun experience getting to hear the history of the farm and getting to pick our own bouquet. We loved our visit to Tulip Town and highly recommend signing up for this workshop!

Included the event ticket:

🚜Learning about the history of the farm as well as how they grow and process the tulip bulbs

🌷Getting to go into the rows to learn how to pick tulips and then picking your own bouquet.

👩‍🌾Behind the scenes tour of the farm, including a look at the specialized equipment that they use for the tulips.

💫Admission to the farm, trolley rides and access to the espresso cafe, beer & wine garden as well as couple of areas to buy gifts and potted tulips.

💫Deception Pass State Park💫 I am so excited

💫Deception Pass State Park💫

I am so excited that in just a few days I will be here visiting again and this time we will be visiting with my parents.

A little nostalgic for my mom, she hasn't been back here in over 40 years and she is pretty excited!

Is there a place that is special to you that you want to share with your family?

This place holds some fun memories for my mom of when I was little but I was too young to remember anything of our time here together so it will be cool to create new memories here that we can remember together!

Some information if visiting Deception Pass:

🌲There is a fee to enter the Park. I recommend either buying a Discovery Day pass for $10 if you are just visiting Washington or $30 for the whole year if you will come back a couple of times. It is easier than paying while at the park.

⛺You can enjoy not only hiking in the park but kayaking, swimming, boating and camping as well. Some activities are seasonal and you will want to check the park website for more information.

🥾There are some fun trails in the park. One we are going to do is Goose Rock Perimeter Trail. It is a moderate 2 mile hike that gives some great views of the bridge and the surrounding park.

💫Vacation Spotlight💫

🌸✨ With Spring just around the corner, let's talk about Disney World and some the amazing things they host in the Spring as well as some fun activities and experiences that aren't just rides over the next week! 🎉💫

What's your favorite non-ride activity at Disney World?

For me, it's all about the Flower & Garden Festival in Epcot. 🌼 I can't get enough of the stunning topiaries, delicious bites from the outdoor kitchens, and the enchanting Butterfly Landing.

Don't forget to grab your Flower and Garden Festival Passport – your ultimate guide to all the festival fun!

Here are some of the activities you can experience during the festival:

🌿 Wander through the breathtaking topiaries and gardens throughout the park. The English Tea Garden in the United Kingdom Pavilion is my absolute favorite – don't miss it! They offer 30 min guided tours as well as self-guided tours all about tea.

🍴 Come hungry and sample treats from the 15 different Outdoor Kitchens. From fresh bites to unique cocktails, there's something for every palate. Personally, I love the Orange Sesame Tempura Shrimp and the Hibiscus Lemonade Cocktail!

🦋 Immerse yourself in the Butterfly Landing, where you can discover the world of butterflies and maybe even have one land on you! Pro tip: wear something bright to attract these beautiful creatures.

Eating fun food on vacation is something I really look forward to. Something that is awesome about an all inclusive is that you can always say yes to trying something new! 🌮🥂

Is food the star of your vacation too?

How did our meals stack up at the Moon Palace in Cancun? Check out the blog for my review of the food on our vacation.

Our favorite restaurant, hands down, was Rivera Maya, serving traditional food from Yucatan Peninsula.

Is there a better way to spend a week in Cancun than staying in a Presidential suite at the Moon Palace? We had ocean views, private balconies, and all the space we could want to unwind after a day out! Check out the link in my bio for a review of our stay on my blog.☀🏖

Do you like a big room on vacation or are you only there to sleep?

Being an introvert, having space to recharge at night was so great!

💦Pools & Beaches at Moon Palace💦

Diving into the vibrant vibes at Moon Palace Cancun! 🌞 Spent most of our days with refreshing dips in turquoise blue pools 🏊‍♀️, lazy afternoons chilling on the beach 🏖, and sipping icy tropical drinks by the water. What could be better?

I like a mix of lazy days and exciting adventures on vacation, which we totally got at the Moon Palace.

What kind of vacation do you like to have?

The Moon Palace has a massive & incredible main pool, a kids area with a water play structure, a quieter smaller pool at the golf course, which was my personal favorite, and of course, the beautiful beach.

Do you have a favorite resort that you like to visit?

⛳Mini Golf - They have a cute mini golf area and it's totally easy to check out a ball and a club at the bike check out area and play as many rounds as you want.

🚲Bike rides - The Moon Palace is a huge resort and a fun way to explore is to check out a bike and ride on the many paths they have.

🌸Therapy Spa area - This was definitely our favorite places to be! The sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, cold plunge, and therapy pool are all free to use, you just have to reserve a time to go.
