Oregon was also a fun place to be this summer. Here’s a peek at my time in Oregon via Instax.
Thanks, Oregon!

Vegebration #5
Did you know I celebrated 5 years of being meat-free this summer?
Vegebration is always a highly-anticipated event full of very delicious vegetarian food.
This year was no exception. I wrote about it a bit more here.

Live from gate D11
Portland International Airport.
Wow. Four weeks go by fast when you’re with the ones you love, doing things you love, in a place you love. Thanks for a great summer, PNW!
And I appreciate the cloudy weather you pulled out today.
Good bye!

Chuckanut Drive
The scenic route.
No trip home would be complete without visiting my college town of sweet little Bellingham. Bellingham is located on Bellingham Bay about 20 minutes from the Canadian border. It’s a place brimming with local businesses, sustainable ideas, and college kids. If you’re on the hunt for a university, Western Washington is the tops!
On my way up and my way back, I took the scenic route. Chuckanut Drive is 21 miles of incredible beauty. On the south end you pass through fields and farms (lots of potatoes) and in the north you encounter stunning views of the San Juan Islands. The road is narrow and winding. It’s a fine balance between admiring the scenery and staying on the road.
I pulled over at an informal view point and took a few photos. Everything really does appear blue as you look out over the water.
I even found a few lucky pennies.
