Kitty Deschanel | Food, Wine, and Travel Adventures in an Airstream Basecamp

Sexy Nerd and I have been on a 7 night cruise and a 5 day cruise. We enjoyed them so much that we decided it's time for more cruisin' - 14 days of nonstop cruisin', to be exact! We will be flying into Seattle, where we plan to cram several of TripAdvisors top rated touristy activities & top rated restaurants into 3 hours. Next, we're taking Amtrak to Vancouver,(and we will make sure to sit on the left side for the best view) where we expect to (hopefully) arrive shortly before midnight. There's not much time for sleeping though. We only have a few hours in Vancouver before boarding the Holland America Veendam, so we'll be getting up bright & early to take a bike ride around Stanley Park. No big deal, you think? We can relax on the cruise ship? Ha, you sound like Sexy Nerd (and boy is he in for a surprise)! Here is a tiny preview of what else I have planned for this trip, cut & pasted from part of our itinerary: Eat at Bowpicker Fish & Chip...

Color pencil, by yours truly. As someone without any artistic talent, I'm pretty pleased with it. Color pencil duckling I drew this for our "just ducky" bathroom back when we were renting a house. Perfect for testing out my new scanner!

Oh man, I am SO ready for this freaking week to be over. (I'll explain later.) (It's absurd.) A friendly reminder: this blog hop is open to any and all posts you're proud of. To share a link on Pinterest, click on the image directly. To visit the link, click the description underneath the image. This linky will return next weekend, giving extra exposure to all the wonderful blog posts and giving you more time to discover links you missed the first time around. Thanks to everyone who messaged me in response to last weekend's Linky with info on the Great Sand Dunes. We went and had a blast. Also, we learned that I am extremely out of shape. Those dunes are a workout! Isn't it enough just to see the sand? Do we really need to walk all the way over to them? My legs are still aching! Have a fun weekend, bloggy friends.

It's the weekend (FINALLY!!!) A friendly reminder: this blog hop is open to any and all posts you're proud of. To share a link on Pinterest, click on the image directly. To visit the link, click the description underneath the image. This linky will return next weekend, giving extra exposure to all the wonderful blog posts and giving you more time to discover links you missed the first time around. Has anyone out there been to the Great Sand Dunes National Park? It's so close to Albuquerque and we've probably driven past it 100 times visiting Sexy Nerd's family in Colorado. Maybe we should actually go sometime... (After visiting all your nifty links, of course!)

So, apparently the Not "Baaad" Sundays blog hop linky tool hasn't been allowing my readers to post anything new (those InLinkz crumb-bums.) Not to worry though. It's not only fixed - it's new and improved and better than ever! Remember, this link up is open to any and all posts you're proud of. To share a link on Pinterest, click on the image directly. To visit the link, click the description underneath the image. Have a great weekend, my bloggy friends! P.S. I leisurely stumbled out of bed this morning after 9am to discover that Sexy Nerd had washed and waxed my car , just because. How lucky am I? P.P.S. If anyone out there has a suggestion on where to go in Colorado, please let me know. I've caught the road trip bug :) P.P.P.S. This is not to be mistaken for an actual "bug" bug . Bleck!

*Update* Wondering how our master bathroom remodel turned out? Click here for photos! Is it just me, or has this remodel been going on FOREVER?? To be fair, we were distracted for a while with the task of saving our dying ash tree. Did you know that there is a type of insect called an ash borer? We didn't! Was the rescue time well spent? Not exactly. Oh, our yard is so crappy now! Fingers crossed that the bathroom will be completed within the next month. We still need to plant a new tree!
