Sometimes it is easier to insert a map to show where we visit, especially as no one lives here with us! We drove up, towards the Canadian boarder over Easter. It was a sunny day *yay :)* and this place has been raved about since we moved here. I am really pleased we left so… Continue reading Tulip Town and Clayton Beach 04/16/17
Olallie Lake via Pratt Lake Trail
Oh wow to this hike! We went with Sausage and Igloo today, which is lovely to share hiking with them. Firstly we were all a little surprised at how much snow was at the start of this trail, I expected snow but not until a little further up. We started with our chains on our… Continue reading Olallie Lake via Pratt Lake Trail
Gold Creek Pond 03/20/17
I went on this hike with one lady - usual hiking buddy - and we hoped to meet the other one on the trail....which we did! Lovely to see her briefly too. Driving along the i90 towards Snoqualmie Pass we were able to see how much snow was still around. I knew that people were… Continue reading Gold Creek Pond 03/20/17
Bridle Trails 03/06/2017
Yesterday walking up Wallace Falls wore my legs out, so I did not go up Mount Si with the hiking ladies. Instead going round my local state park, I walked up there which took 40 minutes and met with one of the other hiking ladies and her friends. This meant I did not take many… Continue reading Bridle Trails 03/06/2017
Date Night hidden as part of a Works Auction
Not a long post, but one to share because it is rare for us to be able to dress up pretty and have a night out! It was my works auction so we decided to stay the night at the same hotel so we could both have a drink or two 🙂 We did not win… Continue reading Date Night hidden as part of a Works Auction
Wallace Falls 03/05/2017
It has been a while since we've gone out with Igloo and Sausage but we managed it today. This is a hike I've done before but one which neither them nor Hubster has done. We really wanted to get out, but sometimes at the weekend we have a lazy time and struggle to stick with… Continue reading Wallace Falls 03/05/2017
Visit from Mama S February 2017
Mama S came to visit last month for just under 3 weeks. We are both working now, so we weren't able to take her out and about as much as last year, but we passed the Orca card - like a Oyster card in London - which meant she could use the buses. A little… Continue reading Visit from Mama S February 2017
The Antics of Max and Marie…2
It is midnight again, in the Gordon's household. I am sick as a skunk and Hubster has the beginnings of it too, plus dropped a ladder on his foot so he's in pain. I got into bed, Hubster cleaned his teeth and I heard him shoo Marie out the bathroom. Max starts having his weirdo… Continue reading The Antics of Max and Marie…2
Nordic Skiing 01/09/2017
Nordic skiing or Cross Country Skiing is something I've been interested in trying, but assumed you needed to be able to ski well! I can snowboard, as can Hubster, and have some skiing experience but not in the last 5 years. It turns out however that you do not need to be able to ski… Continue reading Nordic Skiing 01/09/2017
Rattlesnake Ledge 15/01/2017
Brrr...not as cold as Franklin Falls, but it was still quite chilly! We went up with a friend of mine who doesn't get to hike with others very often. The recent trip reports on WTA mentioned that microspikes would be needed and I am so pleased we took ours. At times it was very very… Continue reading Rattlesnake Ledge 15/01/2017
