Hello Seattle, I Am A Mountaineer

"take me above your lights, carry me through the night, hold me secure in flight, sing me to sleep tonight"


In about 9 hours I will be boarding Alaska Airlines to Seattle! I am pretty excited about visiting another part of the country I have never been too.  Seattle is promising to be rainy all weekend, but I am okay with that because I feel like I will truly get a taste of the 'real' Seattle-- the one with umbrellas and rainboots, sweaters and warm coffees held close. I get to take some fantastic people's photos while I am there too, shooting in a rainy city will certainly be a test, but one that I am excited to go for. My adventure will lead me down through Portland, Oregon where Michaela and I are getting to meet up with Bonnie of Whim Wham Life.  Very excited for a weekend of city exploring and adventures coupled by good talks, late nights and long drives with the music up loud.

I am feeling a little apprehensive and sad about leaving Bella for four nights.  (Oh, you thought I was going to say I was sad about leaving the husband for that long?)   Sure I will miss the husband too but I know that he will be just fine but my little Bella?  Who I spend everyday with?  And cuddle with a night?  I am just so sad to be away from her and leave her home alone all day while husband is at work.  I know, I am crazy.

Friday's Letters will be up tonight for linking, but I do not foresee getting to comment since I will be busy!  I will be back here next Tuesday! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Over & Out,
A

  1. I've never been to Seattle, so I'd love to live vicariously through your adventures! Can't wait to hear all about it.

    It's hard to leave fur babies behind, but just think about how excited you'll be to see each other in a few days! <3 She wont be fazed a bit, she'll just be happy to see her mama when you get back!

  5. Seattle has such a distinct feel about it. This photo reminds me of the shot used in Grey's Anatomy. Enjoy your trip!

  6. I agree with Raven, I liked Seattle (I've only been once) but I LOVE LOVE LOVE Portland (and hopefully we'll be moving there sooner rather than later!)...Cam will be super jealous when I tell him you're going to Portland, that's where he's from and he really misses living in Oregon. Also, so cool you're meeting Bonnie from Whim Wham Life, I love her blog! Have a fun weekend! xoxo

  15. Welcome to Seattle! That's where I live :)

    And you will notice that umbrellas are few and far between. It's weird, I know. People just seem to opt for ugly raincoats or wet, frizzy hair. It's the truth..

    Hope you have an amazing time! :)
