Sammy, a three-and-a-half-foot-long ball python, is beautiful with deep brown and gold patches. His skin is cool and smooth, providing a unique experience during yoga.

Healdsburg's wine cred is matched only by its culinary one, with an influx of new energy from big names and cult favorites enhancing the local scene.

Instead of trying to trick the public with some humorous fake news, the ski area set up small obstacle courses in the lift lines, forcing skiers and snowboarders to put in a little bit more effort to get on the slopes.

Rowe and Garen Scribner's libretto takes its liberties, setting the action in a world where everything is green and an evil princess has ruled that nothing be eaten but peas.

Abiqua Falls is a stunning 92-foot waterfall that tumbles over a wall of columnar basalt into a wide pool, perfect for swimming. The surrounding area features a pebbled beach that provides breathtaking views of the falls and lush greenery.

"You don't wind up here by accident; you come here for a reason, and that reason is typically the abundant outdoor adventures and natural resources we have," Nathan Miller, the former executive director of the Copper Harbor Trails Club, told Travel + Leisure.

We run on the Tacoma and Eastern rail line. Beginning in 1906, that's what people used to take to get to the entrance of the national park at Ashford, Washington. From there, they'd take stagecoaches up to Paradise Inn.

"I didn't know that I would have this kind of life when I graduated from conservatory. You take auditions and don't know where you are going to land."

Not only do we have an amazing trail with 10 waterfalls (four of which you can walk behind), but it's a great place to see and learn about plants and wildlife. We also have several historic buildings that are open to the public-all built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s and 1940s.

Last night I had a dream and you were in it, and I was in it with you. I was doing the packing I never did. Not sure how it started, that's how dreams go. But I was nervous that you might show up. Just like you were nervous I'd be there. Eventually you did show up, but your head was buzzed and dyed orange.

I'd been on the island for less than a week when I opened my glove box looking for sunglasses, only to find the wrapper of my emergency granola bar torn open and the corner nibbled, right next to a neat little pile of mouse droppings. As I inspected the rest of the car, I was mortified to realize it was likely more than a single mouse. I texted the friend I was housesitting for in disbelief. "Ugh, I'm sorry! That's so island," she wrote back.

Growing up in the midsize city of Vancouver, Canada, I always dreamed of living in a big metropolis - a cultural hub where something was always going on, with endless places to explore. For a while, I did. When I started dating a Brit, I moved to his hometown of Birmingham, England, the second-largest city in the UK population-wise, with over a million residents.

Head to the San Juan Islands and the very northern Washington coast for the best seafood, Skagit Valley for the best bread and produce, Whidbey Island or the Olympic Peninsula for the best rainy-day bites, and Fidalgo or Guemes Island for the best lunch anywhere. And it makes sense. The coast and fjords are known for the plentiful Dungeness crab, salmon, oysters, and other marine

WeatherA warm, moisture-limited Pacific Northwest pattern keeps snowfall modest this weekend, with generally high snow levels and mostly dense to wet snow quality. The best accumulation favors Whistler and Mt Baker, while the Washington Cascades and Mt Hood see lighter totals with periods of wind. After Monday, high pressure builds in and turns the region drier and unseasonably mild, limiting fresh snow chances through much of the workweek before hints of a more changeable, potentially wetter West Coast signal later in the extended range.
