Planes, Trains, Ferries and Cars.










































About a week ago, I hopped on a plane with my sweet mom to the great Pacific Northwest for my 21st birthday. 


We started our adventure in Seattle, one of my favorite cities. We stayed at Hotel Max, a very retro and "hipster" hotel, located right in the heart of the city. Once we arrived, we walked around Pike Place Market, stopped by the famous "Gum Wall" and had pizza at Zeek's Pizza. We finished the night, by watching the sunset on top of the Space Needle, with a 360 view of the city. It was absolutely breathtaking.









































The next morning, we woke up before the sun and boarded a ferry to Victoria, Canada. The ferry was such a fun experience. We sipped on coffee and conversed with the couple sitting beside us, all while being surrounded by snowy mountain tops and the vast ocean. In Victoria, we had tea at the Empress Hotel and wandered around the cute, little port town.









































On the third day of our trip, we took a train to Portland, Oregon to visit family! As we were waiting to board the train in Seattle, it started snowing! The further south we traveled, the more snow there was! By the time we arrived in Portland, it was a winter wonderland! We walked around the cutest neighborhood, warmed up with some tea at Tea Bar and ate the best grilled cheese sandwiches ever at a local market called, P's & Q's Market! When the ice started melting off the roads, we decided to take a risk and head to the mountains to Multnomah Falls! It was one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen.


















































































This trip was such a dream, and it really is true what they say, "Northwest is best!" I am so excited about all of my upcoming travels this year! Stay tuned!
