Earlier this month, the Mr. and I took a weekend trip to Portland, Oregon for some food, fun and tasty beer. We love traveling to new places and Oregon definitely did not disappoint. What a beautiful state! We had such a great time and one of the many highlights {like that sunset on the coast – *sigh*} was going to de Garde Brewing’s 2nd anniversary party. They are my absolute favorite, so it was awesome getting to see where all of the magic happens and enjoying their beers in such a fun atmosphere. Their party is actually what prompted us to take this trip, so we thought… hey, why not make this a beer adventure and visit as many breweries/brewpubs as we can while we are there?! 😉 Oregon has lots to offer and what I love about the craft beer scene is that you can also expect to make some new friends!

There are few things I enjoy more in life than an adventure… especially when it’s with my hubby and good company. Our latest one involved a trip to Austin to visit our dear friends who planned a weekend of non-stop activities for us. As always, we had such a wonderful time with them and really enjoyed getting to explore some new spots. Here are a some highlights…

The beer tour at Jester King was, hands down, the coolest brewery we’ve been to so far! It’s such a neat location and their beer is SO delicious. I had no idea I liked sours so much. They are definitely worth checking out if you like trying different kinds of craft beers and being in a fun, outdoor environment.
Can you believe we’ve never had Salt Lick BBQ until this trip?! It’s pretty much the thing to do if you ever go to Austin and it did not disappoint. Their ribs, so YUM!
We scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! One word… Lick. That is all.
There just so happened to be a full moon that weekend – on Friday the 13th. Sooooo we had to make a stop at Barton Springs to howl at the moon. Keepin’ Austin weird y’all! 😉
We had the Nobel Pig at Nobel Sandwiches… spicy ham, pulled pork, provolone and BACON.
And on our last night, our friends cooked us the most amazing meal served up fresh from their recent fishing trip and local farmers market {delish!} and then took us for dessert at Gourdough’s for big. fat. donuts.

As much as we loved all the food and drinks, the best thing about this adventure was getting to catch up with our friends and make some new memories. Never a dull moment with these guys! [Read more…]

Earlier this month I got to go on the most amazing trip to New York City with the most amazing group of photographers for the Pinkle Toes Workshop Reunion. It was a whirlwind of non-stop fun around the big city that was full of laughing, walking, eating, more walking and most of all lots and lots of picture taking. But my favorite part of it all was all of the new friendships made… what a wonderful group of talented ladies with big, kind hearts. I will always treasure the memories we made that weekend and look forward to keeping in touch with everyone. Be sure and scroll all the way to the end of this post and follow the blog circle to see how everyone else saw the city through their lens. And if you’re on Instagram, you can see some of my iPhone images here and search #pinkletoesnyc to see more snaps from our adventures. [Read more…]
