Travel: Tulum, Mexico
Tulum, Mexico is about 35-45 minutes south of Akumal – and about 2 hours south of Cancun. It’s beautiful. Bryce and I took the Colectivo and saw the ruins, had lunch, and walked around this sweet little city. Tulum, Mexico First – make sure you bring sun screen, a hat, and something to drink. Also, note that the way you enter is not the way you exit. So, just keep that in mind if you’re in a larger group. Oh, and no facilities inside the…

Photos: Dogs of Instagram
Dogs of Instagram – who doesn’t love following sweet fur pups? Well, since this past Saturday was National Puppy Day, I thought I’d share a few of my favourites. Following these four paw friends is so fun – they brighten my day for sure. It’s been almost a year since we’ve been without a pup in the house, so this is my way to stay connected to the cuteness and all the fuzzy feels. It can be sad without a pup since I sometimes wonder…

Travel: Tulum Snapshot
About 3 weeks ago I saw an article and the headline read ‘Tulum is so 2018.’ It talked about new and exciting places to visit. Well, let me tell you, this quaint Mexican town is still a beautiful and exciting place to visit. Not too sure I’d spend a whole week here, but it’s worth the stop if you’re close. Check out this Tulum snapshot. Riding bikes, visiting the ruins, or eating authentic Mexican food is what Tulum is about. Oh, and smelling the warm…

Travel: Akumal Snapshot
Here is a little Akumal snapshot – we’re staying about 100km south of Cancun in Quintana Roo, Mexico. The town is small, yet has a lot of personality. This is technically the second time we’ve been to Mexico, yet I might say the first time we’ve vacationed here. Our other trip was a day stop in Tijuana back in 2014. Oh, and if you were curious, we’ve done pretty well by just packing for Mexico in a carry on. It’s been great! My favourite thing…

Travel: Elk Island National Park
Elk Island National Park. Camping! Yes – we went camping again. This is our fourth trip of the season and we’ve got two more left. I’m excited since fall camping is beautiful. Okay – check out our photos. Elk Island National Park The best part about this park is that it’s only 55 minutes from our driveway to the campsite. That’s it – less than an hour! Ah, the hazy ski is from all the recent wildfires in BC – makes for pretty photos. Meet…

Project: Minnie the Boler Before
This is Minnie the Boler – she’s a 1971 (although we initially thought 1979) Canadian made fiberglass trailer. We called her Minnie because we ended up picking a Mango Sorbet colour to paint her and one of our favourite little places to grab take-away is called Mini Mango. As such, meet Minnie the Boler. Minnie the Boler Before Rough shape? Yes. We picked her up a few hours from home and although I say she’s in rough shape, she really isn’t. The body was in…
