Fun Facts - Clues to Vacay Trip

I realized that my hints about our trip were so vague, and Hikari actually guessed one! Hikari, send me your addy in Boston!

Here are a few more fun hints!!!!! Feel free to Google away and then leave your guess for where we're going!!

City Clues:

1. _______ 1919 was the first general strike in the country. 60,000 shipyard workers walked off their jobs. All power to the people!

2. ______________  hasn't had polling places anywhere in the state for over a decade. All voting is done by a mail-in paper ballot. (You can also drop your ballot off up until 8PM on election day at a drop-off point.) This state has one of the highest voting rates in the US!

[just leave a guess for a city in this great state!]

ps - Ty served his mission here.

3. This capital city, __________, is geothermally heated from underground hot springs.

4. Popular attractions in the city include Stanley Park, Granville Island and Robson Street.

(Hikari, this is right up your alley!)

First, 5 clues:

1. We're driving from Utah.

2. We're going to 5 cities...4 of which I've never been to.


3. The drive will encompass 4 days of driving, 1 of flying, 1 overnight stay without our road trip buddies, and 1 flight back home.

I need to post about our hikes! All in due time...

Hope you're having a great week!

Breathtaking.

More to come!

My last week off looked a lot like this:

Farkle. 

Picnic lunches.

Lounging in the sunshine, chomping chips + guac.

Chatting with the friends of the village.

BBQ every other night.

Thinking about my week on looked a lot like this:

Thanks to phone cameras,

your face can be washed out and look fat all in the same frame.

But, I actually like this picture.

Probably because I really love us.

No matter what.

I miss the boy this week.

Here's to cooking for real when he gets back.

we're definitely better together :)
