Instant Washington
Off again.
And so soon.
Well, those 36 hours were nice Abu Dhabi but I’ve got a few more places to see this summer! I’m heading out to meet some babe I know in Europe.
Destinations include:
Vienna, Austria
Bratislava, Slovakia
Budapest, Hungary
Ljubljana, Slovenia
Bled, Slovenia
Trieste, Italy
Venice, Italy
Stick around the blog though because I have some neat posts from a few other bloggers lined up!
See you in a couple weeks!

Vegebration #5
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
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.
