Happy Sunday!
I'll
be taking today to get ready for the week, making sure I'm on top of
everything and organized. I thought today would be a good day for the
second part of my travels from 2016. I showed you my trips to North
Carolina and my Surprise Birthday trip to Nashville. Today it's all
about my trips to Portland and Michigan.
Portland
(This is Brianna! We're literally the SAME person)
This
Portland trip was a big deal for me. This was the first time I had ever
traveled alone (flown). It was a super cool experience but best believe
I called my mom a million times for reassurance I was doing everything
right! Lol. Let me back up to why I was even here. I have a super close
friend names Brianna, who was living here (she's then moved) and I
wanted a vacation while also getting the chance to see her. This was the
perfect opportunity for that. She showed me all around the city and I
got to see a lot of cool things. In the picture above, we were at the
Rose Garden/Japanese Garden in Portland. If you ever get the chance, you
have to go! The grounds are so beautiful and perfect opportunities for a
photo op ;) lol.
SEATTLE
"You can't come to Portland without visiting Seattle!"
The
words of my friend Brianna. She managed to give me the chance to check
out the city of Seattle and fan girl because of Grey's Anatomy. I got to
see the very first Starbucks, EVER, as well as check out the Pike Place
Market. Here there were cool flower stands, vendors. It's a definite
must see. They weren't kidding when they said Seattle is always rainy
and dreary. Getting caught in the rain looking like wet dogs, grabbing
coffee to stay warm and driving back to Portland in the drab was all
worth it!
MICHIGAN
My
trip to Michigan came up out of the blue. My best friend Molly and her
Dad were going to see the Michigan game and asked if I wanted to go. I'm
not huge into sports, but she is, and this was an experience I'd get to
share with her. This was one of the best trips I've gone on. I got to
meet a lot of her family who welcomed me into their homes with open arms
and treated me like one of the family. Just that alone made the trip
more enjoyable and enhanced the experience. I got to see her childhood
home as well as have my first ever Miller Burger! If you're ever in
Michigan, you have to go, you will not be disappointed. The Michigan
game was an experience in itself. This was the biggest game I've ever
attended and everyone's energy was so exciting! Although I'm a gators
fan, I was proud to yell, "GO BLUE! 💛."So thankful for the experience
of traveling to a new place and to her and her Dad for taking me!
