It’s been eight weeks since we moved to Washington. And while we are househunting, we are livin’ it up in a family cabin on a golf course along the Hood Canal.
If you ever travel to the Pacific Northwest, make sure to put the Alderbrook Golf Club and the Hood Canal on your bucket list.
If you haven’t heard … we’re selling our house in Paso and moving to the Seattle area this summer!
Say whaaaaat? It’s crazy, I know. And I’m equal parts sad and excited for it. But, moving during a pandemic? Not fun. It makes things like saying goodbye and visiting our favorite kid-places “one last time” super complicated. So I’m sayin’ to the heck with all that and already making plans for a mom-cation here when this is all over.
My friend Trish Juarez of Paso Robles is the coordinator for one of the two major mask-making efforts happening right now in SLO County during the Covid-19 pandemic. And they need your help.

But, it’s also special because not only are your kids’ needs accounted for (and who are we kidding – they’re the bosses anyway), but the adults also feel like they’re on a pampered beach vacation. The hotel is steps from the ocean, there are complimentary white fluffy towels in the pool area and there’s a free waffle bar with whipped cream in the morning.
Not only does California’s Central Coast have some absolutely fantastic landscapes, it also has …. some pretty cool animals, too!…
