WGJ Travels: Penelope's Adventures


This is the last part in our summer long series.- WGJ Travels and its all about Penelope. 

Who is Penelope? I am so glad you asked, sit down and I will explain. 

Penelope's Mom- OG Penelope- has traveled around with me, mostly to doctors offices and hospital stays. (baby) Penelope joined Kyle back in February on a trip to Alaska. She was very curious about seeing snow and seeing a polar bear (I tried to explain to her she might not see one but she insisted). Kyle took great care of her and now she is living in his work backpack JUST in case he gets called on a work trip at any moment. Her passport is right next to Kyle's and she loves all the neat knick-knacks he keeps in his backpack. She will occasionally sneak out of his backpack and wander around Kyle's office and she has told me, there are so many SNACKS she has found. I think she is living her best flamingo life. 

Penelope. My faithful flamingo friend. She has been bitten by the travel bug this year and she has been on A LOT of adventures. Her passport is filled with so many destinations and she's so excited to show you her adventures today. 

Alaska is where the story starts, we'll Seattle due to a layover.

Seattle Airport waiting for the flight to Alaska

She met a grizzly bear, which she was promptly scared of!

Living through Captain Cook who transversed the Pacific Ocean
from Antarctica to Alaska. 

BIG Moose aka Bullwinkle who was not very talkative. 


The Fremont Troll in Seattle

Then after that the West Coast Adventure, she got to experience Brooklyn 

Industrial Brooklyn- clearly not impressed. 
Probably mesmerized by her reflection in the water.

Then the whole reason why she got a passport,  she was joining Kyle on an adventure  overseas to Norway! She had to get an official passport and travel papers. Everything had to be in order for her to travel overseas. 

She made it through customs without any problems and she had a great time! Even made friends with another Troll!

Always making friends. This time with a Troll (her 2nd one!)

Foggy morning at Preikestolen- Pulpit Rock

Super Curious about the Kiragg Cliff.

To Kyle's surprise, she turned out to be a pretty great photographer too!

Not even a month after coming home from Norway, she had the opportunity to go with Kyle to the British Virgin Islands. Penelope got super spoiled this trip because not only did she get to go to a beautiful island, she got to experience her 1st super first class experience. From what Kyle told me, she was loving the mimosa's.

A few weeks, Kyle, Penelope and I ventured down to North Carolina. 

So many trees!

Whew! Penelope has gone some pretty fun places.  She is super eager to see more of the world and share it with you all! :)

A BIG THANKS to Kyle for bringing Penelope along on his adventures and taking such great care of her. It's a nice thing when you don't have to hid your quirkiness and someone else loves it and embraces it.  I posted this on WGJ's instagram back in June and its probably one of my favorite things ever!
