Excited to be posting and tweeting live from the Anacortes Spring Wine Festival on Saturday April 8th. Every spring, this popular event brings 30 wineries into the island town of Anacortes, and there are also local savory bites and goodies to sample. The event is sold out so feel free to tell me which wines you think I should taste. * * * #WaWine #smalltownwa #gnomads #anacortes365 #winetime #winelover #wine #fidalgoisland #islandlife #anacortes #winetasting #dreambigtravelsmall #bestmsmalltowns #UpperLeftUSA #pnwlifestyle #pnw #pnwtravel (at Anacortes, Washington)

It's been one of those Mondays where I'm too busy to stop to eat, but I could really go for a Yardbird, a Fried Pork Ribs, or a Chicken & Waffle from Vagabond right about now. Nothing quite like fried foods to chase away the Monday blues. * * * #smalltownwa #dreambigtravelsmall #anacortes365 #foodie #foodtravel #culinarytravel #wanderwashington #TasteWA #experienceanacortes #foodtruck #foodtrucklove #foodiefriday #traveltoeat #eattotravel #travelwriter #discoverwashingtonstate #explorewashingtonstate (at Vagabond)

Where is my favorite place to watch the sunset in Anacortes? Sares Head.

If there was a competition for the best tacos in Washington State, JW at the Boatyard in Gig Harbor would be my choice!

Thrilled that the Sunnyside Heritage Tour in Coupeville, WA was included in @thecuriousexplorers latest post about "9 of the Weirdest Tours Around the World." This tour was so much more than I expected. On the tour I discovered that this gravestone was shipped from Ireland and that one side is written in Gaelic. Have you been on a weird tour? * You can read more about all nine tours on their website. * #smalltownwa #gnomads #exploreyourownbackyard #dreambigtravelsmall #smalltowntravels #graveyardtour #cemetery #ghosts #traveltips #travel #explore #adventure #pnw #coupeville #wanderwashington (at Sunnyside Cemetery)

It is a rainy and cold day in Anacortes. So I am thinking of spring and the tulips that will bloom in April!

Yes, I think I cold float to sleep on this Memory Foam bed, especially with the sound of the ocean waves drifting through the window. * #smalltownwa #dreambigtravelsmall #longbeachwa #VisitPNW #PNWparadise #PNWNatives #discovered with​ #AcrossThePNW #pnwexplorations #ThatPNWLife (at Adrift Hotel & Spa)

A beach bike ride and a cloudy sunset = beach fun in Long Beach, WA. All we need now is a blanket, a beach fire and some wine. * #smalltownwa #dreambigtravelsmall #VisitPNW #PNWparadise #PNWNatives #discoverthepnw #AcrossThePNW #ThatPNWLife #WAwine #staypnw #explorepnw #travelpnw #hotels (at Long Beach, Washington)

Don't you just love boutique inns and hotels. I found a wonderful historic inn that you won't find on any hotel booking site. Guesthouse Ellensburg is blocks away from downtown Ellensburg. During my visit, I easily walked all over town to their free museums and great restaurants, and then at night cozied up in my two-room suite appropriately named Syrah. * #smalltownwa #smalltowntravels #dreambigtravelsmall #boutiqueinn #hotel #inn #hotelreview #myellensburg #ellensburgwa #travelwriter #smalltownusa (at Guesthouse Ellensburg)
