Spring Bucket List 2018

03.8.2018

Spring is nearly here! With warmer, longer days on the horizon I'm dreaming of all the outdoor, evening-time activities we can start doing again. And in a new city! I'm moving to Seattle in a week, which means this Spring will involve a lot of exploring new places, new experiences …
