I got to go on a girls trip in the beginning of June with my BF Brooke! We decided on Seattle so that we could go and visit a friend (also named Brooke) that recently moved there with her family. We had such a great time and got to do so many fun things!
Here we are on the plane ride … couldn’t wait to get there! We flew in on a Thursday evening and got in around 9. Brooke picked us up from the airport and we drove back to her house, had some food, chatted a while and then went to bed.
The next day was a big day! It was Brooke’s birthday and it was for sure a great day. First on the list was kayaking. We went to a gorgeous little inlet where we met our guide, got suited up, and then headed out to the water. This was my first time kayaking, but hopefully won’t be my last. It was such perfect weather, company, and scenery. The silence of the lake was wonderful. Such a change from everyday life!
Next we headed to a place called Deception Pass. It was also beautiful. We walked over the bridge and then down a trail that ended up on the beach below the bridge. This is something that I think the kids would have loved and I will for sure take them there if we ever go as a family!
After stopping for some delicious seafood and drinks we went and visited a lavender farm and then off to a little known driftwood beach. All along the beach were a whole bunch of tepees and forts that people had made out of the driftwood. There were also hundreds of crabs. Most of them were really little but we did see a few pretty good sized ones!
The next two days we hung out by the pool, went to a roller derby, toured a brewery, and did a lot of sightseeing and shopping around Seattle. I had such a great time and was glad to get a much needed break and escape from real life.
