Last minute trip out to Whidbey Island over the weekend. Thanks to some Airbnb credit, we spent $1.31 on lodging (and got to chat with a very interesting host as well). Offseason might not be everyone’s favorite time to travel, but it sure is ours. Hard to beat driving up and driving on the ferry with no wait. Sunday was my first trip out to Fort Casey (my husband and roommate spent time out there for Band Camp in middle school). There are a number of forts in the area, but Casey is the only one with the big guns still up, which the kiddo thought was totally cool. The weather wasn’t great - the rain just about turned to slush at one point - but it was still a fun day to explore. Up on top of some of the buildings, I noticed the ferry was leaving, so the husband and kiddo took off for the ledge to get a great view as it passed just below. February might not seem like a great time to travel - or spend a lot of time outside - but it can be pretty darn fun. And travel is easier when there are fewer people around. #whidbeyisland #frugaltravel #debtfreecommunity #travelwithkids #pnwadventures #financialindependenceretireearly #airbnb #fortcasey #whidbey #pnwlove #pnw We sure do live in a pretty place. #nofilter necessary. Even in the winter months, we spend a ton of time outside. It’s free, it’s healthy, and it makes the winters not feel so dark and dreary. Though this winter has been particularly wet, we’ve been outside a ton. It definitely helps when you notice every beautiful part of a day that exists. #rainypnw #rainyseason #seattlerain #wintersun #debtfreecommunity #choosefi #dfc #gooutside #pnw #dfc #zerowasteliving Love this sentiment from @wanderlustwlee. My 30’s definitely count as “eventful,” but like her, those events are made with more intentionality than in my 20s. I’m working less - but making things happen while I’m there - and I’m balancing the rest of my life along with it. We may be busy a couple work nights most weeks, but those nights are purposefully chosen. I’m saying no to more, so I can fully give myself to the things I say yes to. My life still might be pretty fast paced for the most part, but frazzled it is usually not. And it’s a good place to be. #slowfi #financialindependenceretireearly #debtfreecommunity #intentionalliving #dfc #choosefi #30s #30something Happy birthday, Mr. Five Year Old. Amazing how much frosting can hide a disaster of a cake that doesn’t come out well from the pan 😆 But it tasted great! Thankful for such wonderful neighbors in @marellabobella and co so we could celebrate on his actual birthday night yesterday (or yesternight, as he says) even though it landed on a Thursday. Best neighbors are the best - though you were certainly missed @he11ens. #happybirthday #fiveyearsoldtoday #fiveyearoldsrock #homemadebirthdaycake #frugalbirthday #bestneighbors #debtfreecommunity #financialindependenceretireearly #zerowastecommunity Probably one of my favorite photos of the kiddo from our Iceland trip. We spent our first five days there in Reykjavik, car free. The city is super walkable and pedestrian friendly (and small enough) that we didn’t even end up using a bus during those days. We ate a ton of good food, walked along the harbor waterfront every day, and rang in the new year around a bonfire with people from all over the world. Just last night, the kiddo announced his favorite part of the trip was “everything.” I’m apt to agree, buddy. Link in bio to the recap of our (relatively) frugal 5 days in Reykjavik, the first part of our two week trip to Iceland. #iceland #reykjavik #icelandtravel #frugaltravel #tinyglobetrotter #visiticeland #visitreykjavik #reykjavikiceland #reykjavikfood #icelandicfood #iceland🇮🇸 #travelhacking #debtfreecommunity #financialindependenceretireearly 2. Have a minimum of two internet free days a month. This goal was inspired by @carbonfreefamily who takes a 24 hour break every Saturday, which feels next level to me. Even having two a month is going to be HARD, to which my husband replied it’s apparently time to go camping. He is right though, as being off grid is amazing and refreshing – and also the only way I’ve so far been able to stay offline for a full day. This goal is definitely going to be the hardest one. ETA: I was inspired by writing this post to get on this goal since I haven’t had an internet free day in January so far, so Sunday (yesterday) became my first one on a whim. Link in bio to the full rundown of my goals for this year. #2020goals #financialindependenceretireearly #choosefi #zerowasteliving #goalsetting #debtfreecommunity
