Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

Two shots to get the party started. Now a French Chambord Manhattan. Chambord, bourbon, sweet vermouth, and a few dashes of orange bitters. Yummy!

Looking forward to a relaxing weekend.

I love you all…

We normally start our Pacific NW travels in early July. Not this year as the World Cup has dramatically increased Seattle hotel prices. We’ll head south and finish in Seattle in late July when the price drops by $500 per night.

Love your summer weather, seawater temperature, not so much 🥶
