Travel: Ucluelet Aquarium
The Ucluelet Aquarium is worth the stop. This catch and release aquarium is one of a kind. On the Saturday morning after breakfast I was reviewing the map, expecting to do the lighthouse loop, and saw tat Ucluelet had an aquarium. Such a great pivot to visit these under the sea creatures. Okay, let’s check out some photos! Ucluelet Aquarium We did two laps around the open tank, and you could expect to spend about 30-45 minutes here, if you take your time. They even…

Travel: Ucluelet Wild Pacific Trail
Ucluelet Wild Pacific Trail – just about 25 km south of Tofino, this trail is diverse, full of breathtaking views, and has some of the largest cedar trees on the island. Okay – let’s checkout the trail and our hike! Ucluelet Wild Pacific Trail First, checkout the map – it’s detailed, full of many paths, and has some great lookout points. One trail we wanted to do, yet picked another activity instead (well worth it – and I’ll share later) was the lighthouse loop, looks…

Travel: Middle Beach Lodge
Middle Beach Lodge review – this resort, tucked off a dirt road on the coast of Tofino, British Columbia is the perfect place to rest, relax, and rejuvenate.

Travel: National Pacific Rim Hike
National Pacific Rim hike – such beauty. This hike was about 7-8 kilometres and took us just over 2 hours, yet we stopped for a picnic and took our time. When we bought our park pass the park ranger told us one of the nicest hike was to combine trail 3, 4, and 5, walking back to our car on Wick Road. Great advice! We ate lunch just before trail 5 and added the road portion to the end of our trail. Okay, let’s check…

Travel: Tofino Snapshot
Tofino snapshot – we spent a glorious long weekend in Tofino at the end of April. Beautiful hiking, delicious food, and the best company I could ask for! Check out a few photos and I’ll be sure to share more soon. Tofino Snapshot You might know we’ve been to Vancouver Island before – hiking the West Coast Trail was an epic experience – but we’ve never been to the northern part of the Pacific Rim National Park. Tofino has a laidback vibe, full of easy…

Photos: Woof Wednesday 6.0
Woof Wednesday 6.0 – time to celebrate Daphne the Afghan Hound. Nothing special other than the fact that we love this four pawed pup. One thing we used to say when we had Bella and Lily, is ‘did the hound eat’ or ‘does the hound need a foot bath’. You get the idea, we used hound instead of dog. Well, oddly Bryce and I started laughing back in December 2019 when we fell into this habit again – why, because Daphne is indeed a hound…

It’s Woof Wednesday 5.0! We’re celebrating Daphne’s 2 year gotcha day last weekend, full of fluffy memories and fun adventures. Daphne the Afghan Hound is one sweet pup – check out her before and after photos below. Two Year Gotcha Day! We lucked out with the warmish day on Saturday, December 11 – so I could keep up my blue theme with a t-shirt and hoodie. I joked with Bryce that one year it’s going to be minus 20 or so and I’ll need to…
