On my recent trip to the Women in Travel Summit, I knew I wanted to explore Portland, Maine in as many ways as I could.
Since Maine is known for their lighthouses, I bought a ticket for the Portland Explorer City and Lighthouse Tour through Viator.

Ok, I admit it. I might be having a little bit of #momguilt for riding on a fire truck without my two boys. But, when I saw this unique Portland sightseeing tour, I just couldn’t pass it up!

Out of all the amazing things to do in Portland, the one I was most excited about was the Lucky Catch Portland, Maine cruise where we got to try to catch lobster!

One of the best ways to explore a city is through their cuisine. That’s why I booked a Portland Old Port Culinary Walking Tour through Viator on my recent trip to Portland, Maine for the Women in Travel Summit.

Now that we’re fully into our Back-to-School routine, I’m itching to plan some more trips! I’m always on the hunt for cool Pacific Northwest weekend getaways for Fall.
So, I asked some of my Seattle blogger friends to suggest their favorite Pacific Northwest weekend getaways. Plus, I added in a couple of our favorites, too!

Living in Seattle, we are fortunate to be so close to both Vancouver, BC and Portland, OR. Both are amazing cities for families with toddlers and preschoolers. Plus, they are just a few hours drive from Seattle. See why Portland with toddlers is always a good idea.

Living in Seattle, I usually take my kids to the Woodland Park Zoo. Or we visit the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in Tacoma. However, I’ve been hearing people rave about the Oregon Zoo in Portland for years.
Last year, we came down to Portland with friends who also had a toddler (read my toddler guide to Portland.) We knew that the Oregon Zoo had a train that was under construction.

I was lucky enough to get to go on a Moms-only trip to Portland, Oregon in March. We try to get away once a year and we chose Portland because it’s just 3 hours from our homes in the Seattle-area. We all have 3-year-olds, so it’s a comfortable distance. I started researching hotels immediately. Since one of the Moms in our group was super pregnant, we wanted to find somewhere centrally located (where we could walk to stuff) but that also offered food options in case we ended up just hanging at the hotel. And cleanliness was of highest priority.

When I was pregnant with my oldest, I was encouraged by several new Moms to join a PEPS group. It’s a support group for Seattle-area parents. I joined and my group bonded so strongly that we still see each other regularly 3 years later. They are the people I share my parenting highs and lows with first and they have continued to support me through the birth of my second child.
