Upcoming Journey

I am so excited to finally be getting a little break next month! Adam and I both took a few days off in early June so we could take a mini vacation.

Our first stop will be Portland, OR. This is already shaping up to be an interesting night because of the hotel I (somewhat unwittingly) booked for our stay. If I'm to believe the many reviews I found on tripadvisor.com, we may be running into some ladies of the evening who make this particular hotel their office, and the elevator smells of urine and electrical fires. Joy! Oh well, at least it will be an experience. It can't be any worse than the Fargo Super 8, where we were forced to stay in a smoking room because of our cat, and where I'm certain at least 10 drug deals take place per second. In any case, I'm looking forward to exploring the city, I've heard nothing but wonderful things.

I'll admit it though, I'm more excited about our second stop - Seaview, WA! I finally caved and purchased one of those extremely tempting Groupon/Livingsocial deals for a fancy seaside B & B. We get a free bottle of wine with the room, free mimosas, and a dining/pub credit to boot. I LOVE B & B's and simply cannot wait to get my lazy, tea-sipping, homemade cookie-eating, middle-aged version of myself on!

Of course I will be writing a more lengthy and descriptive post once this fabulous mini vacation is over. For now I'm going to make sure I'm up to date on my tetanus shot and find wide-brimmed hat.

Until next time,

Amanda

Welcome to Every Little Escapade!

This blog is my chance to share my love of travel, food, and drink with everyone I know, and perhaps a few of those I do not. I won't lie, it's also the first baby step in my plan to start writing again.

Join me (and by association, Adam) in our many adventures, big and small. Whether it's an overnight escape to a B & B, a cross-country road trip (coming in September, ladies and gentlemen!) or just trying the new restaurant in town, I always have lots to say about the matter, and now I'll get to share it with all of you. So bon voyage, bon appetit, cheers, and enjoy!

Amanda
