St. Helens

This weekend, Nick will surprise me with an adventure we both have never done before. I am excited for what he has planned. I have to remember to keep in mind that whatever happens, I will try to not be whiny and to just enjoy whatever my husband has planned for our adventure together.

I told him I will try to be the best outdoorsy wife I can ever be. I say this because I am a city girl. The outdoors for me is the beach and water. I would kayak, ride the rapids and surf. But the mountains, yeah they’re God’s beautiful creation, but I like to be on horizontal ground. But that’s just me. I know I will learn to love it more and more. I just have to do it frequently.

Two things that are a must to bring: 1) Hiking Shoes and 2) Camera

I’m excited!

PS. For those that missed the photo of our anniversary spread last night, here’s a link http://twitpic.com/1lo37q

Update: Added the photo for a sneak peak on what we did. Will post more photos soon.

It’s usually around this time when I start getting very restless because of the weather.  I’ve been checking flights to Mexico, Puerto Rico and even Spain (even if the weather is pretty much the same here and there).

It’s always around this time when I feel that I need to leave and just take a break from Seattle. To fly far, far far away from here.  I love the city yeah, but I am made to be in the sun. On the beach, reading a book with my toes in the sand. I need it so bad.

This is also the time when Nick gets really annoyed with me because of all the links I send him regarding travel, beach, and just plain “Let’s get the hell out of here.” He’s a very patient one I tell you.

I will be going to San Francisco on the first weekend of March to get my passport renewed. It’s pretty stupid that there’s no way I could get it renewed here.  I have to fly down there, show my face and then get my passport.  In a way, it’s a good reason to get a trip out of here. See mi familia, eat some Filipino food, and have a fun time with my good friend Liza, since she’s travelling with me.

Nick and I are still discussing where we should go this year.  I just want to see places I have never seen before.  There’s more to this world than just Seattle. I can’t stand the cloudy skies! I need me some Vitamin D!

Where are you off to this year?

A few photos from our trip to Manila this last September.  It was so wonderful to be home… see the family, eat seafood like crazy and of course… laze around the beach like there’s no tomorrow.

I miss home.
