These pictures were snapped as I took a stroll before heading off for a festive event. That’s why I have a fancy do with flowers woven into my hair, and I’m just wearing my casual clothes. I’m sure that Mother Nature wasn’t a bit concerned that my flowers probably looked out of place. That’s one of the things I love …
Every person who has ever considered taking a trip to Seattle knows that when it comes to destinations, Pike Place Market is at the top of the list. And they also know that the entrance is right under the big sign. It has the gold pig on the left and the flower stalls on the right. But not everyone knows …
This musical has won four Tony Awards, and I could have won an award for bursting into laughter as I enjoyed the comedy of errors and misdeeds it created through witty banter, punctuated facial expressions made to match the music, and lavish costumes. But I was far from the only audience member laughing…. There was a frequent hum in the …
For those of you who join me on Snapchat (katherinechloe), you know that I’ve been house-sitting in a dreamy Seattle neighbourhood. Seriously, I could never leave the basement here and still feel like a princess. And best of all, it’s close to the Washington Park Arboretum, which is perfect for exploring, jogging, and canoeing amid the water lilies. Here is …
Since this 4th is the 240th anniversary of America’s Declaration of Independence, there isn’t a festivity that I’m passing up…starting with a street parade and strawberry shortcake, followed by an afternoon at the beach, a barbeque, and a party in the park, and ending with fireworks! How are you celebrating? For those of you in other countries, I hope you’re having an …
Here are some more pictures from my Hawaiian escape. Somehow, I kept passing by the ice cream store. Wonder how that happened?! Top by Bar III, Shorts by Hudson, and Wedges by Steve Madden Men’s Favorite Fragrance for Women
Even though this movie is made for kids, its appeal is universal. Personally, I was laughing harder than some of the tots in the theater…along with Dory-loving big kids and adults. Besides its wit and adorable factor, what I love most about Finding Dory is…well, Dory. She obviously has more challenges than any other sea animal in the show, and …
Something about wearing my new favorite Free People top puts me in that free-spirit mood where the possibilities seem endless and the adventures await! Have you noticed that in Hawaii a girl could never leave her resort and not run out of fun times? There’s the beach, the lagoon, live music, spontaneous dancing, and tropical animals. Top by Free People …

When I was little, I loved making sand castles. I was one of the first to toddle out to the ocean’s edge, and one of the last to leave. I used to stare at all the little specs of sand, marveling at how there were so many, and yet all of them came together to make up the beautiful beach. …
….like Skating, Turning, and Stopping! Last Sunday, the Penguins, Pittsburgh’s renowned ice hockey team, won the famous Stanley Cup in Rio de Janeiro. The same day, Team Brazil ranked fourth out of six in the much lesser-known Pan-American Hockey Tournament. Normally, these teams and competitions would not be lumped together in the same paragraph, but this year that changed. To …
Besides the three s’s…surf, sand and sun…one of my favorite activities in Hawaii is meeting the eclectic collection of travelers who come there. Waikiki draws people from around the world, including newlyweds, little families, close friends, and those flying solo who want a spontaneous reprieve between challenging work projects. All of them have something in common…they’re happy to make new …
Today, I’m continuing my Seattle travel series by focusing on the chocolate scene. Every time I take a trip, dessert plays a major role in the adventure…and I want every bite to be memorable. So in this video, I’m taking you on a Chocolate Walk in the Greater Seattle Area.
This isn’t the first time I’ve talked about the Sorrento Hotel. In my mind, it’s been on the hot list for quite awhile. If you’d like to hear why this place IS the place to be, here’s my “100 Years on the Hot List” post describing it. When Kylee and I headed out to take pictures here, she was concerned …
Lately, I’ve been doing a blog series on Travel Talk for the Seattle area. If you’d like to see the other posts, here they are. Today, I’m featuring what many have considered the #1 Seattle restaurant for decades…and it still lives up to that reputation. My mom has lived in Seattle for 28 years and wanted to have a Canlis …
