It’s Always Sunny in Seattle & Canada (At Least When We’re There): Spring Break Day 3
With the three of us being Southern California natives, it became a daily ritual to check the weather each morning in Seattle. Was it going to be raining? Was it going to be freezing? Should I wear everything I packed just in case? Monday morning, as we got off to another (wonderfully) slow start, we Continue reading

It’s Always Sunny in Seattle & Canada (At Least When We’re There): Spring Break Day 1
Similar to our last trip to Seattle, this one started early. After waking up to a 3:50 a.m. alarm, my sister and I made our way through the doors at LAX by 5:15. Lucky for us, the Virgin America check-in desk was there to welcome us with the soothing alarmingly loud sounds of Beyoncé and Continue reading

A Late September Adventure (Day 3: Denver, CO)
In an unfamiliarly cold haze of morning déjà vu, my alarm once again went off at 4:15 a.m. on Monday. Unwavering from its first episode, I blinked my eyes slowly open, pondering the “what if I just slept through this?” narrative. But as I trudged my way into the bathroom, my toes cold and my Continue reading

A Late September Adventure (Day 2: Bend, OR)
At home, a typical September Sunday morning usually consists of church, with the occasional play of hooky to watch a Giants football game on television. They are always slow moving and relaxing and comfortable, which made this Sunday morning in Bend feel just like home. After getting the chance to catch up on some sleep, Continue reading

A Late September Adventure (Day 1: Bend, OR)
At 4:15 a.m. my alarm went off and my eyes blinked slowly open. Waking up seemed impossible, unbearable, illogical, but somehow I dragged myself into the bathroom, turned on the surface of the sun grade light, and brushed my teeth. It was 6:00 when I got to the airport, and everyone seemed to be thinking Continue reading

How to Survive an Alison’s Adventure (Day 1&2)
Day 1 With a bang my eyes were open, the wheels were on the ground, and the lights in the cabin were on. It was 9:15 pm on a Thursday and my dad, my sister and I had just landed in Hawaii. We walked through the terminal, eyes red and hair knotted, looking at all Continue reading

Spring Break Road Trip (Day 9: Park City to Home)
What would prove to be the strangest, most body-shocking day of the road trip started just like any other day traveling with my sister: with coffee. We pulled up in front of the Park City Starbucks at around 7:45. The temperature was 36 degrees. Our driving time was only 10 hours that day, and we Continue reading

Spring Break Road Trip (Day 7 & 8: Park City)
Just like a Saturday, the best part of a non-travel day on a road trip is the freedom to sleep in as long as you want. Now, I haven’t really been able to sleep passed 9:30 since I was about 18, but there’s something to be said about just laying there, with nowhere to be, Continue reading

Spring Break Road Trip (Day 6: Bend to Park City)
It was another early morning to start another long day of driving, and with the events of Saturday still looming in the far back corner of our minds, we figured it was only logical to start our day with Starbucks. Unlike Friday’s departure from Vegas, the drive out of Bend didn’t involve buildings shrinking out Continue reading

Spring Break Road Trip (Day 4 & 5: Bend)
Sweet, sweet, Bend. You are cold, but you are a place. People love you. People! You have people. And houses. And food. Oh Bend, I love you. On Sunday morning Allison, my sister and I got up slow and made our way over to have brunch, which proved to be nothing short of a gift Continue reading
