Drove up to Bellingham for a job interview and spent the evening with my cousin. She introduced me to this beautiful little boardwalk around the corner from her job. It still amazes me that places like this exist. #boardwalk#pnw#bellingham#pnwonderland#cousintime#bellydance #bellinghamboardwalk#broadwaypark#washington#washingtonstate#washingtonweather#highwind#roughwater#lowtide#adventure#explore#exploring#newhome#moving#movingtothepnw (at The Boardwalk)

Last year, when I visited Washington for the first time, this was my favorite place I was introduced to. This whole coastline seems to be gorgeous, but I have a fondness for this mountain in particular. Maybe it's because it is the first mountain I hiked here, maybe it's just the magical sensation of being on top of the world. Either way, thought you guys might enjoy this little slice of heaven. #washingtonstate#washington#pacificocean#texansinpnw#fidalgo#fidalgoisland#anacortes#anacorteswa#mterie#mounterie#explore#exploring#movingtothepnw#moving#pnw#pnwonderland_whdb#adventure#travel#traveling#travelpic (at Mount Erie)

First stop in Napa finds us at the Napa General Store enjoying brunch, chai tea, and the absolutely awesome patio atmosphere. #travelphotography#travel#springvacation#adventure#travelling#napa#napavalley#napavalleywine#napavalleylife#napageneralstore#moving#movingtothepnw#pnw#california#californiaadventure (at Napa General Store)

Once again I found myself back on my favorite spot, #mterie, when my cousin came to visit. Even though she's been in #washington three years now, she never visited #Anacortes. Couldn't deprive her of one of the best views on the island! #family#familytime#cousins#cousintime#washingtonstate#washingtonlife#islandlife#island#fidalgo#fidalgoisland#anacorteswa#mounterie#mountains#movingtothepnw#moving#pnw#pnwonderland (at Mount Erie)

So far, Miss Jeep over here seems to enjoy her adventures around the #pnw. She was made for this sort of place. #movingtothepnw#moving#newhome#exploring#explore#adventure#adventuretime#mterie#mounterie#fidalgo#fidalgoisland#washington#washingtonstate#washingtonlife#islandlife#island#mountains (at Mount Erie)

Walking along the boardwalk with my cousin, this sight greeted me. I miss Texas and my family there, but things like this make me feel like this might be worth it. #cousins#family#missingmyfamily#missmymother#missmyhusband#missmydogs#boardwalk#moving#movingtothepnw#leavingtexas#texas#texansinpnw#ocean#pacific#pacificocean#bellingham#washington#washingtonstate (at Boulevard Park)

My introduction to #seafood in the #pnw was a delicious and enjoyable one thanks to my cousin and @lizioli21 last night. Absolutely awesome location and the very best of people to spend time with. Can't wait to see them again 😁 #adventure#exploring#pacificnorthwest#pacific#texansinpnw#anthonys#bellingham#bellinghamwa#movingtothepnw#moving#family#cousins#coconutshrimp (at Anthony's Bellingham)

Welcome to Island Life, y'all! Here on Fidalgo Island I seem to have been directed to a particularly enchanting piece of land edging Anacortes with the experience of Washington Park. The narrow, winding road brings you through some gorgeous trees and along the coast, providing beautiful photo opportunities. Can't wait to go back! #moving#movingtothepnw#travelpics#texansinpnw#pacific#pacificnorthwest#exploring#adventure (at Washington Park)

Traveling down US93, we couldn't help but to appreciate the beauty of our surroundings. The early morning sun filtered through the clouds across the mountains, washing peaks and valleys in light and leaving shadows across the face of the eastern mountains. #movingtothepnw#arizona#arizonamountains#arizona🌵#arizonastate#westernarizona#travelling#adventure#springvacation#travel#travelphotography (at U.S. Route 93 in Arizona)
