Portland Seattle Trip
The last time I went to Portland, Oregon was in 2012! I had been wanting to go back for many years, but wasn’t able to until earlier this year. i had never been to Seattle, Washington. In January 2022, I went to Seattle and Portland with two of my sisters, my sister’s boyfriend, and my 3 year old daughter. We went as a birthday trip for both of us.
The funny thing is that it was meant to be a trip for just my daughter and me. I originally had planned to go to Nashville in 2020. But that trip was cancelled unfortunately. I ended up getting airplane credit and used that for my plane ticket to Seattle. I started talking to my mom about it and she mentioned that I should take my 12 year old sister. Then my 23 year old sister heard me talking about it and said she wanted to go too. After that, her boyfriend heard us and said he has always wanted to go to Seattle so he wanted to go with us too.
We were there for a little under a week. We had so much fun exploring, but it was very cold when we went. I think it was about 50 degrees or less every day that we were there.











2023 Year in Review
Every year I like to look back at the year and see all the things that happened, both good and bad. It makes me apprepiate all the happy times and gratefull that we made it through the tough times.
One of the biggest things that happened this year was that my daughter and I moved out and got our own place. We have been living there over a year now and are very happy. Before that, we were going back and forth between living at my mom’s house and living at my grandma’s house.
I also went to theme parks with my family, mainly Disneyland and DCA, sometimes Knott’s Berry Farm as well.
Overall 2023 was a good year, 2024 has been even better.
