It's been a long longggg time since my last post, almost 2 years ago in fact! To say that times have changed lately would be a HUGE understatement as most can attest with the cataclysm that has been COVID-19 over the past year of our lives. Despite mostly staying in over the past year, its... Continue Reading →
My big trip for 2019 was one for the books! This year I headed up to Alaska to visit my dear friend Amanda (previous adventures with this gal include roadtripping from Denver to Salt Lake City and living the life in San Fran, to name a couple). Amanda has been living in Anchorage for over... Continue Reading →
For the May long weekend this year, we planned a getaway southwest of the city at Pinery Provincial Park. About a 2.5 hour drive away from Toronto, you pass through a number of small towns including Stratford (giving you the opportunity to stop and see a play if you so desire!) on the drive there. ...

While camping at Bon Echo this summer we decided to adventure to a place that we've been wanting to visit for a while. Located just outside Eganville and an hour north of Bon Echo Provincial Park, we decided to check out the natural wonder that is Bonnechere Caves. Entrance to the caves normally costs $20/per person... Continue Reading →

Not only do you get to catch up and share some new memories with an old friend but they mostly likely know of all the hot spots... Continue Reading →

Since our last trip, I've found a few other notable ones to check out. 1. Burk’s falls 2. Albion Falls 3. Chedoke Falls... Continue Reading →
A few weeks ago we discovered a great little find less than a 30 minute drive from downtown Toronto at Rouge National Urban Park. The concept and arrival at this park was very confusing to us. What is considered the park itself is actually spread out into cities of Toronto, Markham, Pickering and Uxbridge. Our assumption, based... Continue Reading →
On Canada Day long weekend we headed down to Southern Ontario to visit Point Pelee National Park. Perfect opportunity to finally use our Discovery Pass for free entrance! This is one National Park that you can't camp in so we booked a campsite at Wheatley Provincial Park which is only a 20 minute drive away... Continue Reading →
My "big" trip this year involved heading down to the US of A to visit my dear friend Amanda! Amanda is currently nearing the end of a two year nursing contract in Colorado and I am so happy that I was able to go visit her while she's still there. I gotta say, this gal... Continue Reading →
