Find the things you love and get good at them 🤘🏼

my sweet boy & a sweet view

Took this up on the White Pass. That’s up in Skagway, AK. The train ride was amazing.

It’s so cold here🥶! Spring is MIA. How is it where you live? We just came back from 2 days at our Airbnb, The Horsfall House🏡. We enjoyed seeing the snow fall❄️, but we were really glad it didn’t stick! The past year lots of articles have criticized Airbnb📰 & I understand why. The honeymoon is long over for both the owners of properties as well as the guests who stay in them🥰. Airbnbs used to be a cheaper alternative 💵 & are still a great deal for large groups, but they can also be a pain in the neck🥲. Some hosts have long lists of tasks (strip beds 🛏️, put laundry in the washing machine, etc.) 🧼. Um. No, thanks. When you leave a hotel, the only thing you need to do is close the door. Sadly, we’ve had guests break or take things💔. We’ve lost binoculars, a large bowl, a Pendleton blanket, a collectible vintage Rainier beer bottle & untold numbers of wine glasses🍷 and tumblers have gone missing. Some items are stolen & others probably accidentally broke. A few of our guests over the past 9 years have confessed, but they’re outliers! Also painful for both guests & hosts is the rising cleaning fees. Thanks to Covid😷, it takes much longer to clean a house🏠. Hosts must observe cleaning protocols that add time & require more supplies — all add up. Our house is a unique🏡100+ year old homestead with charming & eccentric features. There is a secret room, decorated by one of our favorite friends, @Wendyadams2724087. It's fun when guests discover it. It’s place to digital detox from SM for a couple of days🤳. When I’m there, I don’t even think about IG, Twitter & others until we’re on the freeway coming home🚘. Do you use social media every day📲? Besides IG, where do you regularly spend time🐦? . .

This past weekend I returned home to Washington. I didn’t get to do half of what I wanted to during the short trip, but I’m eagerly awaiting the next time. Seeing Mount Rainier rising up over White Pass was a welcoming sight! . . . #thatpnwlife #pnwlife #washingtonstate #whitepass #littletahoma #mountrainier #mountrainiernationalpark #mtrainier #mountainlife #wildflowers #roadtrip #highway12 #pnw #pacificnorthwest #washingtonexplored #pnwdiscovered #pnwonderland #rainierwatch #packwood #k5summer #sonorthwest #bestcoast #visitrainier #canon80d #mtrainiernationalpark #teamcanon (at Packwood, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1wARIKneTj/?igshid=wiuvh912acyw
