Bellingham, a Walking Paradise

Why we love Bellingham, WA

It’s no secret that Washington is Eric and I’s favorite state in the United States, followed closely by Oregon. We visit the Pacific Northwest as often as possible. One of the reasons we love this area is because it is a walking paradise. Notice I said walking, not hiking. Most people think hiking when they plan a trip here, and for good reason. The North Cascades, Mt. Rainier and Olympic Mountains offer epic hikes, but zoom in closer on the map and you’ll discover endless possibilities.

Freising Germany, a Hidden Gem

November 5, 2017 No Comments

I love it when a destination completely surprises me, which is a rare occasion because I tend to research to death every place I visit.

So imagine how happy I was to discover the sleepy town of Freising, Germany, which I picked as our last night for our 14-day Austria/Germany sojourn simply due to its proximity to the Munich airport. I didn’t know anything about the town, other than that it had a brewery [Big deal, right? They seem to be everywhere in Germany] and that I got a decent price for a hotel within walking distance to the train.
