Mother-daughter trip day 4: exploring Seattle!
Today is our full day exploring Seattle! Mom and I got an early start from Burlington and made the drive ack into the city. We listened to an audio book during the drive and time felt like it melted away. We caught a little bit of traffic as we got into Seattle but it was…

Day 3 of our mother-daughter trip and we’re taking cooking classes!
I am so excited for today! I somehow convinced Mom to take two cooking classes with me at the King Arthur Baking School in Burlington, WA.

Though not included in my room price, since I booked with points I had a basic room, it was satisfactory. The scrambled eggs, hashbrowns,…

Afternoon Tea at St. Ermin’s Hotel
I booked a classic afternoon tea experience at the Tea Lounge at St. Ermin’s and was impressed with the menu, service, and experience. I would describe afternoon tea to my American friends as a meal but think in terms of finger food. The menu consisted of sandwiches, sweet treats, freshly baked scones, and, of course,…

This is NOT your Instagram influencer style travel blog.
Don’t get me wrong, I like the glam Instagram pics and videos as much as the next person. I mean they are GORGEOUS. Regardless, you won’t see pics of me in a flowing dress with perfectly curled and styled hair running barefoot through the desert. It’s not my style and I’m not sorry because that’s…
