Week 1: Favorite Places

Over the summer I went to some awesome places up north, including Oregon and British Columbia and they were gorgeous. So here are a couple of my new favorite places:

1. Astoria, Oregon

It's the town where the Goonies and tons of other films were made, and plus it's just incredibly cute and adorable. Oh, and the hotel we stayed at had a balcony where we could hear the seals barking. It was amazing.

2. Victoria, British Columbia

This gorgeous town gave the province of British Columbia the British part of their title. The town was very European inspired and you could really see the culture mash there, and I do love culture mashes.
