Remember the days when I was just too self-conscious to be posting photos of my outfit that we used a space helmet to make things a little bit easier? I’ve learned that when you’re traveling for work, it’s importnat to set aside time for yourself on your trips where you do things that are just for you. Taking advantage of being home in Seattle very recently, I decided to take a trip with my family up to Vancouver so that we could do a little eating and a whole lot of shopping. This was something that Kevin and I used to do when we were younger – taking day trips up to visit our favorite boutiques. Naturally, it was pouring and made for the most unpleasant experience. Shopping in the rain is the worst, but I’m glad I was able to return home with a few new pieces that I love.

Take Me There:

One thing that I always looked forward to living in Seattle was making the trip up North to Vancouver. Next to Seattle, Vancouver was probably one of my favorite places (until I started coming to SF.) Life in Vancouver is similar to my city and if you wanted a quick getaway for the day or a weekend, it definitely hit the spot. Kevin and I made a day trip out of it maybe over two years ago, but I still remember it clearly – a ramen lunch, an afternoon of shopping downtown, a late afternoon of boutique hopping, and dinner back in Seattle. That’s all we really needed!

You can find these pretty pastel buildings in the Gastown District of Vancouver.

Note to self: make a trip to Vancouver during one of my upcoming visits back home.
