It seems to be becoming a tradition that Donna and Stan come to Washington for a wine country trip over Labor Day weekend. This year that tradition held true. Last year we spent the holiday weekend in the Yakima Valley wine country, but mixed it up a bit and headed further east to Walla Walla …

Dave + Trish’s Suncadia Wedding
We had a blast celebrating the marriage of our friends Dave and Trish this past weekend in Suncadia, a mountain resort just past Snoqualmie Pass. The setting was incredible! Suncadia is a mountain-modern style resort and its backdrop is tree-lined mountains, so, really, you don’t need much more than that and a great couple to …
Bryan + Sarah’s Lake Geneva Wedding
Last weekend Alex and I jetted off to Wisconsin to attend Bryan and Sarah’s wonderful Lake Geneva wedding. Bryan is Alex’s cousin and we both went to Iowa State University with Bryan, Alex even roomed with him during our senior year. I have to start this post with a few throwbacks to our college days… …
Stan the Man
Lake Geneva, Wisconsin was last weekend’s destination. We attended the wedding of Alex’s cousin Bryan and his now wife, Sarah, where Alex was honored to stand up as Bryan’s best man. After a very early flight on Friday morning and a quick layover in Chicago we landed in Milwaukee just before 2:00 in the afternoon, which …
Mid-Week Ramblings
Happy hump day! This week has gone by so fast I was sure it was only Tuesday when I woke up this morning. I feel like a broken record continuously saying “it’s another busy week in the Allen household” but that is what it is! I started my new barre class yesterday and have my …
Camping Trip in the Cascade Mountains
Last weekend was a highlight of our summer in Seattle. We spent the weekend camping in the central Cascades with our friends Carrie, Patrick, Mary and Ryan, and of course Jackson and Berkeley {Ryan and Mary’s dog}. The drive once you get out of the city is breathtaking. After passing through the town of Enumclaw …
Cam + Adam’s Wedding
Alex and I were recently in Minnesota attending my good friend from high school, Cammy, and her now husband’s wedding. Their wedding took place in White Bear Lake on July 12th. My apologies in advance… I hardly took any photos! The original plan was for an outdoor ceremony at Matoska Park right on White Bear …
Yard Reno… Take 5…
With all of the time we spend working on our backyard you’d think we lived on an acre parcel, when in fact our lot is just over 3,000 square feet. Given those stats it’s a wonder why we spend so much time working on the yard. It is just a never ending saga with us, …
Alina’s East Coast Bachelorette Party
With just a few more weeks until Alina and Alberto’s Italian wedding, I jetted off to the east coast to join her and several friends for her bachelorette party. After taking the red-eye from Seattle, I arrived in Baltimore mid-day on Friday, met up with Alina and Atalie who drove down from New York City. …
Alex’s Birthday Weekend in Vancouver
Alex and I took a little road trip to visit the Canucks up in Vancouver this past weekend. Before we hit the road we celebrated on his actual birthday with a trip to Bottlehouse. It was perfect. The weather held out so we could enjoy the evening on the patio. The icing on the cake, …
