I’m Que, a Northern California (via Southern California) wife and mom to one pretty amazing husband and an even more amazing little lady! I am also a fur mom to a sweet cocker spaniel whose only desire in life is to follow me around the house.
Together we are the Wandering Washingtons. We love to travel, explore and experience both near and far places, always searching for adventures along the way. When we are not out and about wandering around, we are enjoying home life filled with pizza nights, movie binging, ballet classes and basketball practices where Dad is Coach and I am Team Mom. We do it all to create lifelong memories together.
HOW IT ALL STARTED
I didn’t always have this desire to travel. That credit goes to my husband. He has single-handedly opened my eyes to the vast world around me. It has introduced me to countries, cultures, people, places, and things I would not have experienced otherwise. He has been traveling from the start of his life. I, on the other hand, barely left the cul-de-sac I grew up on. We have traveled on and off together since meeting 27 years ago, and now, routinely with our daughter. We strive for her to out-see, out-do and out-experience us in her lifetime and to continue to learn and grow through her travel experiences.
Travel has now become my love language. Whether they are near or far day trips, road trips, weekend getaways or weeklong/monthlong adventures…they all define traveling! What started as simply photo sharing on social media, has evolved into this blog. A place where I can now share the many aspects of our wonderful travels and the multiple hats I’ve come to wear as a mom and wife to my wandering clan.
I am a retired child and family psychotherapist and now, a stay-at-home mom. I love strong coffee and Rice Krispies in my ice cream. I happen to also like pineapple on my pizza (and it IS NOT up for debate). I enjoy reading, gardening, painting, DIY crafting, and naps...pure, unadulterated naps!
Besides travel, I write about what inspires me and what I believe will inspire you too. I share thoughts, helpful ideas and tips about mom life, family life and home life to keep you encouraged and trekking through your day (you might need coffee along the way but I’ll get you halfway there).
I excitedly want to share all of this with you.
