Yep! For a person who lives in a rural town surrounded by dairy farms, you'd think this would have already been accomplished. But no. And if you know me at all then you know that farm and Angie don't belong in the same sentence. There are several reasons for this: 1. Animals kind of freak me out. … Continue reading #19 Milk a Cow
As a "blogger", I've "met" a lot of new people. Some local, one as far away as Scotland. It's been pretty rad. One of the bloggers that I follow is an outdoor champion. She hikes all the hikes in the PNW and I'm always so envious of her photos. You can check out all of her hiking … Continue reading #17 Snowshoeing
2016 was quite a year. As I reflect, we have so much to be thankful for and I'm ever so grateful for my family and friends who are the kindest, most funny, outgoing, loving, adventurous, supportive people. For my job where I get to share my passion for science and work with kids that inspire … Continue reading 2017
Just kidding. We weren't drunk. I only had one glass of wine. That title was just better than "Paint and Pour" or "Canvas Painting". And who ever came up with the idea? Painting while enjoying adult beverages is kind of difficult. Not only is the paintbrush hard to hold steady the more alcohol one consumes, there … Continue reading #16 Drunk Painting
Of course there's a story. And there are going to be more words than pictures. Not because I am wordy (which I am) but because it is really hard to take pictures with a slippery iPhone 7 while skiing. Plus I was a photo taking slacker. Anyway... This was not my first time skiing. My … Continue reading #15 Skiing With The Fam
My daughter is 18 today. I've been a mom for 18 years. And that is definitely an adventure! Our daughter went and grew up while I wasn't looking. Okay, I was looking. I'm always looking. They don't call me their #1 stalker for no reason. I prefer to call myself their #1 fan. It's just … Continue reading #12 Eighteen
Let me tell you there was a lot of hype building up to this event. And terror. And panic. And self-doubt. And...did I mention terror? And maybe a little whining on my part (about dirt and germs and eyelashes). My adventure team for this race: Rachel, Voni, Bethany, Crystal and Jeni Mae These ladies are … Continue reading #9 Spartan Sprint
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
While this is not an official 40 before 40 adventure, it's definitely an adventure in which I partake each August... Let me set the scene: The children are getting excited about seeing their friends, who's in their classes and which teachers they have... They are ready to sport their new clothes, haircuts and gear... Parents are out … Continue reading Back to School…

Adventure #2: Hike to Mount Pilchuck Lookout. http://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/mount-pilchuck I shall tell this story in photos and reflections. And cheesy analogies. And quotes from the mountain.
