It’s no secret that we love the weekends. I mean, who doesn’t? With or without the kids we try to break away to a new city or visit one of our old favs whenever possible, and we’ve partnered with Hampton by Hilton to share some of what we think are the best destinations to be a Seekender. There are loads
More often than not we find ourselves visiting places we’ve been 10,000 times. We don’t live far from Port Townsend, Washington and that’s where a lot of our family is so we are there quite often. We love Port Townsend, as most Pacific Northwest residents do, and it’s our duty to share just why and what you can expect from
Well, Thanksgiving came and went in a flash which means that it’s time to wrap up our year… but not before we do our one and only Christmas tradition: doing the Christmas tree. Decorating a Christmas tree as a family has become one of our absolute favorite activities out of everything we do over the course of a year. Both

It’s also a place where kids can run wild and play on the beach (almost year round). Fort Casey on Whidbey Island is such a place. From forest trails to bunkers overlooking beaches, a day
If you live in Seattle you know that you’ll never be bored and that there are 10,000 day trips you can take in and out of the city. Well, do you know what the best day trip just outside of Seattle is? It’s actually a trip to Snoqualmie, both the falls and the town. Snoqualmie Falls is incredible, either for
We live in the Seattle area of Washington State and we love it! It’s got everything from the mountains to the Puget Sound. Heck, even the ocean isn’t too far for a day trip. We also have some really amazing small towns. One of our favorites is Leavenworth, Washington. It’s cute. It’s quaint. It’s manufactured. Huh? Yep! There’s a great
We are always up for an unusual dining experience. We love sushi when there’s the chef’s choice or ordering “catch of the day”. Um, what’s it gonna be? We also love when the dining style is totally unexpected. Example: you’re seated for fine dining and discover that it’s a buffet style dining room with really incredible dishes. That’s what we
Part of travel planning is finding suitable accommodations. We’re pretty rough and tumble, so for us this could be a campsite or a cabin in the woods sooner than it’d be a 5 start hotel. Not all of us are fortunate enough to know somebody with a cabin to borrow or have that second home off the beaten path, so
