Let's just go ahead and start here on my 50 before 50 journey. I mean... Washington is where I was born, where I've lived my entire life. Nestled in the foothills of the beautiful North Cascades. I spent my first 12 years in Everett, just blocks from the hospital where I was birthed by my … Continue reading Washington
Last year was full of so many new experiences. Amazing adventures. After my 40th, people asked...now what? And I claimed that I would keep adventuring. Then I didn't. I'm not sure exactly why. If I were to psycho-analyze myself, I'd say that all the build-up to turning 40 was such a high and then I … Continue reading My Adventuring Hiatus Is Over…
So we've been gathering Alaska Airlines miles for a few years now. You know making all our monthly purchases on the credit card and then paying it off at the end of each month. It's been eye-opening, let me tell you. If you want to know exactly how much money you spend, you should go … Continue reading #26 San Fran
After our astronaut adventure, we had some extra time to explore. And Rachel and I did not waste a minute of our time and jam-packed as much into our trip as we could. Life's too short to not do it all and see it all...know what I'm sayin? It all started with a sketchy Uber … Continue reading #22 Exploring Houston
Well, as close to one as I'll ever get... But a girl can dream right? I know. I know. My title should have been "best conference ever" or something like that. My adventure buddy (and fellow science nerd) Rachel and I had the incredible opportunity to attend the 2017 Space Exploration Educators Conference at NASA's … Continue reading #21 Becoming an Astronaut
Holy History...not necessarily literally...just that there was a lot of it. And I dig that stuff. Close second to science. I really dig that science stuff. I had no idea and I was so impressed. So was Beau. Which is not always easy. He tolerates and supports my travel goals...but sometimes he's less enthusiastic than I'd like … Continue reading #4 and #5 Savannah and Charleston
As many of you know, I have this crazy bucket list. One of my "things" is visiting all 50 states before I'm 50. While it's ambitious, I'm confident I can get it done. I mean an average of 3.45 states per year is no biggie...drop in the bucket really. What most of you may not … Continue reading #3 Sunrise and Swim
The birthday is getting closer. The big 3-9. Ahhh...I'm getting so old! Just kidding. I really don't feel old and I'm actually excited. People keep offering suggestions about what I can include in my 40 new adventures and I love it! Keep 'em coming! I can't actually start them yet though because I set a … Continue reading Two weeks out…
Travel to all 50 states before I'm 50. Yep...you read it right. The fact that I'm even talking about my 50th birthday is really weird. The fact that I have to visit an average of 3.45 states per year in order to meet my goal is a little crazy. I'm going to do it though. … Continue reading 50 before 50
