Today I am thankful I was able to cross three more states off my bucket list this year! This spring I flew out to PDX to visit my best friend from college and while we explored Oregon, she also made sure we made it to Washington (via the Bridge of the Gods) so I could check out Walking Man Brewery and make it to two new states on my trip. I am double thankful today as this trip also allowed me to see the beautiful land along the Gorge and to see Multnomah Falls before the devastating fire at the end of this summer.

This past week I also had the opportunity to travel to ATL for work. While I have been at the Atlanta airport a number of times before, this was my first time leaving the airport and stepping out on Georgia land! I didn’t have a ton of time to explore the city (though I do plan to head back for that one day) but I did have a fabulous dinner at Two Urban Licks and would recommend that anyone looking for some good smoked BBQ hit them up (and their cocktail menu is pretty good too)!
