Seattle/Vancouver 2017

In fall 2017 Raymond and our friend Anthony were planning a work trip to Seattle and Vancouver and his wife, Mia, and I decided to tag along. 

I was up soooooo early that first morning! And starving as we didn't really eat dinner since we had a huge lunch and I wasn't hungry. Only nothing was open nearby....so we waited until The Crumpet Shop opened at 7 to go get some food. I did have a few snacks that helped hold me over until then. 

Wandering by the market a bit


Trying on stuff at Target

While Anthony and Raymond were at work Mia and I wandered - our first solo day was gorgeous!

But the clouds were coming

Noodles from a place in the market!

Aaron's special from Glo's Cafe


All the Pho! Really we didn't do a lot in Seattle besides shop, eat, and meet up with friends

That weekend we headed up to Vancouver for a week! On Sunday we went to Lynn Canyon for some naturey fun. We were going to go to Capilano suspension bridge, but it cost way too much for us and Lynn Canyon was free!

Always good advice






All the photos on the bridge!



Apparently a lot of people cliff jump here even with all of the signs and fence...there was a big sign at the beginning of the trail with a map that had listed how many people died and were seriously injured cliff jumping. 








It started raining so we headed back to the city

And spied on Kitsilano Park






While the guys were working we watched the seaplanes land on the water


All the soup!


Our last day we headed to Stanley Park for the sunset









We had to leave early Sat morning to get Anthony and Mia to the airport in Seattle for their flight home Sat evening. We were flying back to PA and those flights were in the morning, so we stayed the night with Gillian and flew out the next day. And we got to go to all the Halloween parties! Since we were traveling we didn't have a lot of time to find a costume, so animal onesies it was! They were so comfy and warm and I love Raymond in his lion onesie! Gillian was a peacock so we all fit the same theme too! Win! Next time our fun adventures in PA!

Campervan Adventures in Iceland: Final Thoughts

That is it for our Iceland adventures! I wanted to post one last wrap up just to say a few things I didn't put elsewhere, or organize my overall thoughts in one place. 

Campervan Adventures in Iceland: Ferry home - Tórshavn

The boat home was just as smooth and uneventful as the ride to Iceland. We left Iceland at 8pm Wed, Thurs at 3pm we arrive in Tórshavn and had a few hours to wander around, then back to the boat for the night, Friday was at sea, and Saturday we arrived in Hirtshals at 11am. 

The end

So it started raining on us for days and we cut out to come back to Seattle for a few days and wait for it to clear up.....and then Raymond decided he really did not want to go back out. So I at first was pretty upset cause I really wanted to get to Canada, or at least as far as we could while the weather was still nice this weekend. And I was feeling really like we were giving up for no reason. Like if one of us were injured or if I was hating it or something then I would have been better about it. But instead it was like the forecast called for gorgeous weather this weekend and we were just going to sit at home. I figured we could have at least gotten to the next stop and then only had one more chunk to do next year, but Raymond really didn't want to go back out so we decided not to. But hopefully by this time next year we will get the last 2 sections done, and maybe go back and do the section from white pass to snoqualmie as we went RIGHT by Mt Rainier and it is supposed to be g
