Just in case you were under a rock this past week and some how missed it – Washington, DC had a blizzard this week! We stayed warm and cozy in our apartment on Saturday making lots of coffee (as evidenced by the photos of Dave grinding coffee beans in bulk). Our little cacti collection tried to stay warm by the windows as the snow fell – and it actually got to …
In an attempt to get back into the rhythm of blogging regularly, I have decided to write some simple blog posts that make me happy. Soooo today’s blog post is about puffins! Although I am admittedly not a huge animal lover or bird watcher, I have a soft spot for the adorable arctic puffin. I first fell in love with the puffin when I spotted them from a boat on my …
This January if we had a cup of coffee -sat down at a local coffee shop to have a heart to heart- it’d be a little different than previous years. For one, it would have coconut milk for creamer (whole 30 anyone??) or maybe I would make you Turkish tea or grind you some Ethiopian beans. 2015 was certainly one for the books (and I swear it will eventually be one for …
Oh Snæfellsnes Peninsula – we never did figure out how to pronounce you, but man, did we love you. (we might have spent most of the day calling is snuffleupagus – just for fun) When we flew into Iceland, we were immediately greeted by a representative from our car rental company, who provided us with a map and some really helpful Iceland driving advice. After we we met our adorable little …
After 10 weeks of non-stop travel we are back home in DC and settling into a new rhythm of life here. So many people have asked us what we are up to post #bakerstravel and I am here to give you a quick update in the form of bullet points to answer some FAQ’s: Where are you living now?? We are back in DC! Yes, we gave up our apartment …
A few changes are happening here at the Baker house – including our actual house (!). We have always dreamed of doing some extended travel and have decided to take advantage of a career change to make this dream a reality. In short, we have one way tickets to Uganda and will be flying out in two weeks to work on some video and photography projects. After some time in East …
May. Spring was in full force, we spent time with both of our extended families, we celebrated 5 years of marriage, and we made some big life decisions. May, you were pretty good to us! Making : A lot of lists. We have a lot of get done in the next few weeks. Cooking : So many meals on our grill! Drinking : Margarita with Trader Joe’s mix. Cinco de Mayo anyone? …
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect weather forecast for our weekend on Assateague Island this year. It was literally 75 degrees and sunny with a nice breeze each day that we were there and we spent all of our time outside enjoying it. Some of you may remember that Dave’s family has been camping on the island for about 40 years now, so Dave has memories of camping …
After three months of cold, April, you were a breath of fresh air. We began the month with the Washington, DC cherry blossoms and 70 degree weather and then I headed to Los Angeles for even more amazing 70 degree weather. I ended the month in New Jersey, which surprisingly also gave me 70 degree weather. It doesn’t get much better than that, folks. Yes, I know it’s already May, …
Oh Los Angeles. You made me feel all kinds of feelings for you this week. I promise I love my precious DC, but the the sunshine and the palm trees. You temptress, you. I think my favorite thing about LA was the street art everywhere. And the fact that there was always an amazing beach near by. And architecture like this. That also happened to be a set for several movies. …
