Pups + Pals Peruse the PNW (May 2015)

May 26, 2016

The dream of the ’90s is alive in Portland.

+ Seattle.

Our next grand adventure was in May 2015 to Portland and Seattle with our good friends Matt and Jessica + their dog, Lola, and our (then) puppy, Scout. Our other good friends had moved there earlier that year, so we went to visit them and a few other friends who also recently moved there (Portland is where it’s at).

Lucky for us, Ben’s hometown is right on the way to Portland, so we stopped in Twin Falls, Idaho, for the night and stayed with Ben’s family. We stopped at the Buffalo for breakfast (a must) and Shoshone Falls on our way out of town.

Final Europe 2014 Post: Barcelona

May 19, 2016

After taking an overnight bus from Marseille, we arrived in Barcelona super sleepy around 6 a.m. We hesitantly messaged our Airbnb host, Carlos, to see if we could check in early, and to our delight, he said the room was ready for us and we could come anytime. Carlos was referred to us by our friends, who had stayed with him a few months prior, and he and his adorable dog, Gazpacho, were true gems—super kind and thoughtful host I’d recommend to anyone visiting Barcelona (also located in a primo spot/neighborhood).

Southern France–Only Two Years Late!

Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, July 2014.

Well hello there! No time like the present to finish up my Europe 2014 blog posts! I’ll spare you the details of the delay, but basically I finally have all of my photos in one location and can much more easily post them.

I won’t be offended if you don’t make it through this entire post because it’s ridiculously long.

SO. We left off our adventures in late July 2014 in Morocco. We took a plane to Marseille . . .
