getting away: olympic peninsula

Spring is here people! Although the weather can be a little unpredictable this time of year, it can't stop me from exploring new places and new adventures! A few weekends ago my friends and I took a trip to the Olympic Peninsula. I had heard it was really beautiful with plenty to do and see, so I was so excited when my friends suggested getting a cabin there for the weekend. The trip was a little bittersweet though, since it was a final hurrah for my bestie Loc (check out his blog+awesome photos from the trip!) who just moved to NYC last week. We lucked out with amazing weather! So sunny and warm, we were running around in our swimsuits! It was so nice out I couldn't help taking hella photos. I absolutely loved it out there, Miles and I will definitely be planning a camping trip there this summer! Enjoy the photos, xoxo whit.

getting away: cape disappointment

A few weekends back, my friends and I took a short trip to Cape Disappointment State Park located in the very southwest corner of Washington State. Spoiler alert...it was absolutely gorgeous! The Pacific Northwest is so beautiful it kills me sometimes. Luckily not really though, so I got to spend the weekend hiking around to beautiful beaches and checking out super old, super haunted light houses. We stayed in a yurt (since March in the PNW means freezing rain + tank top weather + freezing rain again) and didn't even bother pitching tents. Totes worth it, since a yurt that sleeps 5 is much easier for drinking and card games. I highly recommend the trip! See for yourself and check out the photos below! xoxo, whit

getting away: doe bay resort, orcas island

A few weeks ago, Miles and I took a wonderful little weekend trip with our friends William and Brittany to Orcas Island in the San Juans. We went to Doe Bay Fest last summer and had the most amazing time (see some really great photos from the festival here!), we had to make the journey to Doe Bay Resort to purchase tickets for this year's festival. It was a bit strange being at Doe Bay without mass amounts of music lovers and festival goers, but refreshing at the same time. We lucked out with beautiful weather Friday afternoon and got to the resort in time to catch a ridiculously gorgeous sunset. We had rainy weather for the rest of our trip but made the best of it with delicious meals at Doe Bay Cafe, yoga classes, reading and plenty of time in the resort's hot tubs! This was only my second time visiting Orcas Island, and I hope to make it to the rest of the San Juan Islands sometime very soon. It really is magical out there, the scenery is like something out of a storybook.
Here are a few photos from the ferry ride over and our time at the resort. Enjoy! -whit
