Where Kate Wanders

December photo dump 🎄🎅🏻

Scout and I had an amazing Christmas surrounded by friends, family, nieces, and my nephew. We made Christmas cocktails, drank hot chocolate, did crafts, played games, and laughed so much our cheeks hurt.

As this year comes to a close, I have to say I am happy to put 2025 behind me. This year was full of some of the highest highs, but also many lows. I’m happy to end on a high note with more hugs and ‘I love you’s than I could possible count.

Here’s to the next chapter 🥂

Last week marked my eighth trip to Seattle since my brother and his family moved to the city six years ago.

We spent the week celebrating my nephew’s birthday, hiking, drinking good coffee, taking my niece on her first ferry boat, playing board games, and taking in views of the Olympic Mountains.

Every time I visit, I’m reminded how much I love this city! There’s no shortage of hiking trails, nearby towns to visit, and fantastic food to eat. Not to mention, you can reach any of the three national parks in the state of Washington in under 3 hours driving from Seattle!
