Seattle With Kids – Best Kid Friendly Restaurants
Blog: My Little Nomads - 3 October 2011

Lady at a Wedding in Washington
Blog: A Lady in London - 7 September 2011
Destination weddings have a way of taking me to the Pacific Northwest. A few years ago my cousin’s wedding on Lopez Island in Washington gave me a chance to explore Vancouver and the beautiful San Juans. This time around it was a destination wedding in La Conner, Washington that brought me back to the region. [...]

Blog: The Q Family Adventures Travel Blog - 13 May 2011
We have been planning or more precisely dreaming about our Seattle trip since last June. As soon as the organizers of TBEX announced that they will host the TBEX 2011 in Vancouver, we knew we couldn’t go to Vancouver without visiting Seattle.

There’s Something About Seattle…
Blog: thebeergeek.com - 12 March 2011
Our friend and freelance writer Renee Brincks reports on the Emerald City. She can be found on the Interwebs at reneebrincks.com I’ll admit, I’ve got a crush on Seattle. You sometimes see sun, rain and snow all in one day. Flowers bloom even during the winter. Public transportation makes exploring really easy, and each neighborhood [...]

A Real Alaska Experience
Blog: thebeergeek.com - 1 February 2011
The thinking behind going to the Great Alaska Beer and Barley Wine Festival during 2008′s Year in Beer was to show how committed we were to our ambitious beer travel project. If we were crazy enough to visit Alaska in mid-winter, we were crazy enough to see the whole year through. But the weather really [...]

Exploring Beer Beyond Anchorage
Blog: thebeergeek.com - 19 January 2011
On our first visit to Alaska three years ago, we never made it outside of Anchorage. In fact, we barely made it outside of downtown. Wanting to expand our Alaskan experience, we decided to make a day trip outside of Anchorage to visit some breweries. Thursday dawned bright, sunny and clear, ideal weather for our [...]

Back in Alaska
Blog: thebeergeek.com - 14 January 2011
Ever since our first visit to Anchorage three years ago during the inaugural month of the Year in Beer, we vowed we would make it back someday. Our first visit kicked off our most ambitious beer travel project ever and Anchorage turned out to be the perfect place to do it. The beer scene was [...]

Fall Colors
Blog: Travels with Herb - 31 October 2010
Up here in Washington, the Evergreen State, the autumn pallet is not as dramatic as my home state WV. Still we enjoy the splash of yellow, orange and red in contrast to the dark green of the spruce and cedar.

Still Walking in the Rain
Blog: Travels with Herb - 25 October 2010
It is that light misty rain and sometime you have to hold out your hand to feel it or look on some still water to see the tiny specs hitting. So out to get our walk in. Click HERE to read about the great history, such as the Mausoleum pictured below. We took in a cool sculpture park, the word whimsical sums it up. One of the funnies is when you walk towards an easel with a canvas, as you turn to see the painting, your surprise is a mirror and you are the art.

Going Walkabout
Blog: Travels with Herb - 24 October 2010
I love that word. I realize it has a special meaning to the Aboriginals of Australia, but to me it means going on a hike with only a general idea of the direction.

Fisherman Bay
Blog: Travels with Herb - 22 October 2010
We moved to a moore protected anchorage yesterday as the weather is going to get nasty over the weekend. Here in Fisherman Bay we are well protected from the southerly winds that are predicted to 25 knots. Our cruising guide, Waggoners, bragged about this location as a must see. Sorry, but it gets a low score from us. Actually high for protection at anchor, but low for going ashore. No public dock that we can find, and the "Village" is a bit of a hike when it comes to getting supplies. From our boat it looks like the suburbs, mixed with a quarry and two private marinas.

New beergeek.TV Episode – PDX Roadtrip

“PDX Roadtrip” is the latest episode of One Pint at a Time. We were excited to return to Portland for our ninth Oregon Brewers Festival.

Our Ninth Oregon Brewers Festival

The 23rd edition of the Oregon Brewers Festival was our ninth. Attending six straight years at the end of the 1990s and three out of the last four years, we have seen it grow and change over the 16 year span. Changes aside, one thing remains the same: the Oregon Brewers Festival is, in my [...]

Visiting Portland with Kids
Blog: Ciao Bambino! - 13 April 2010
One visit to Portland and you’ll understand why it’s called the America’s most livable city. With its parks, festivals, waterfront and friendly demeanor, Portland has no peer. The Rose City is a perfect hub for a family with active children and teens: in little more than an hour’s drive, my son and daughter could be skiing Mt. Hood, playing on the beach, or boating in a river. Within Portland city limits, we can hike on dense forest trails, go paddling in a kayak under Portland’s famous bridges or pedal along a floating walkway.
