Collected Moments #2

Welcome to the second installment of Collected Moments! You can check out the first one here. This post includes assorted memories from October 2015 to January 2016 in no particular order.

Cape Kiwanda | Oregon Journal

My dad and I got up at 6am to get the most out of our second day in Oregon. After a quick breakfast we drove from Portland to the Oregon Coast. We took a very scenic route through the country and it was so beautiful. After a couple hours of driving, we arrived at Cape Kiwanda. 

Harbourview Park | North Vancouver

My boyfriend and I had a lovely Sunday morning walk with a beautiful view. Harbourview Park is a little trail beside the ocean with a stunning viewpoint at the end. The park is a hidden gem right across the street from Park and Tilford Centre. I never knew there was such a nice walk by the water in that area! I brought the clip-on wide angle lens for my iphone that I got for Christmas, and we had a little photoshoot and got lots of cool shots.

Collected Moments #1

I thought I would share a collection of moments/photos that don’t fit into any particular blog posts. Hope you enjoy this assortment of memories from October to December 2015!

Winter Weekend Getaway | Packing List

This was a difficult weekend to pack for, as I wanted to pack light, but I also needed clothes for a variety of activities. Plus, winter clothes take up a lot more space than summer clothes do. I had to be able to dress for hiking in the snow, shopping, sleeping, and a fancy dinner out with my boyfriend. Luckily Whistler is very much a ski/snowboard destination, so I knew I could get away with a sporty look most of the time. It was also super cold, and no one can really tell what you’re wearing under your winter jacket, so I could for sure be an outfit repeater without anyone knowing! I had to leave for the trip straight from work, so I was already wearing jeans, a nice top, my winter jacket, and my tall brown boots. I think wearing your bulkiest clothes and shoes for the journey is a great tip to free up space in your luggage. However, I ended up not even wearing my jeans on the trip because they just weren’t practical for the weather, so I would suggest not even bringing jeans for this kind of trip.

It may seem like a lot, but when it’s all packed up it really isn’t! I listed every single item that I brought, except for a few items that I omitted because I didn’t use them. We were lucky to be driving, so we were not limited by what you could take on a plane.

So without further ado, here is my winter weekend getaway packing list:
