The Oxford Hotel is a landmark in downtown Denver. Upon its completion in 1891, it wowed guests with its opulence and the first elevator west of the Mississippi. Today it stands as a testament to the past and is a luxurious portal through time.

San Juan Island opened her arms to us and gifted us with unsurpassed beauty, magical beings, adventure and relaxation. We enjoyed fine dining under the stars, wine tastings, fresh oysters, historical tours and wait until you hear about our Scoot Coupe!

We love visiting the wonderful themed towns throughout Washington. You’ve heard of Leavenworth and Poulsbo, but have you heard of Lynden? It’s Dutch and it’s perfect for a weekend getaway.

Do you need to get away from it all and completely immerse yourself in a different world? Fort Worden is unlike any place you have ever stayed and is certainly a world of its own.

The legendary Washington Coast… Miles of drivable sandy beaches, moody weather and epic sunsets.

We recently stayed on the Long Beach Peninsula at the most amazing private campground. The Lamp Camp has changed everything we thought we knew about private campgrounds.

Peace, quietude, saltwater and campfires. Does it get any better? West Beach Resort on Orcas Island is the ideal place to recharge and renew.

West Beach Resort is located on, you guessed it, the West Beach of Orcas Island. The West side of the island is known for its epic sunsets and sunny days. Open since 1938 West Beach Resort has something for every guest.

It’s possible you’ve heard about the Skagit Valley as a destination for Spring, but did you know this incredible farming community is a fantastic Fall destination as well? With dozens of U-Pick crops and plenty of pumpkin farms to choose from, be sure to add the Skagit Valley to your list of fun Fall activities.

You’ve heard about Washington State’s epic mountain ranges and endless saltwater shores but did you know about Washington Wine Country?

Washington is the second largest wine producer in the United States and is home to some of the best wineries in the world.

Every year we look forward to a trip to The Vintages Trailer Resort in Dayton, Oregon. We keep returning year after year for so many reasons but mainly because it's a blast!

Time stands still at The Vintages. As you drive down Pinot Lane you are transported back to the mid-century when times were simpler. Just for a moment it’s easy to believe that you’re on the set of I Love Lucy.

We’ve been dreaming of escaping to the Washington Coast, so when a glamping tent at The Pacific Dunes Resort in Copalis Beach, Washington became available on Airbnb we jumped at the chance. We have never tried “glamping” and we’re so happy we did!

It’s safe to say we all had a crazy 2020. Each January we like to take a look back on the year as we make plans for the future. Here is our quick 2020 in review.

I’ve been dreaming of a tiny house for a very long time. For me a tiny house represents freedom. Freedom from expenses, too much stuff and staying in one place too long.

Before jumping in to major life decisions we like to test the waters, so we booked a tiny house on the shore of Newman Lake, Washington for three nights on Airbnb.

The Blackwell Boutique Hotel in Coeur d’Alene Idaho is a luxury retreat that won’t break the budget. The Blackwell was built in 1904 as a wedding gift for lumberman F.A. Blackwell’s son, Russell Blackwell. The wealthy entrepreneur spared no expense for his son and the mansion was built to the highest standards of luxury for its time.

Looking for an easy day trip, or hoping to experience the mountains of Washington? Highway 2 could be what you are looking for.

We began our journey in Everett and ended in Leavenworth, Washington.  The portion we traveled is also known as the Stevens Pass Greenway on the Cascade Loop.
