Photos: Michigan Hike
Michigan Hike It’s that time of year – time to hike. The fall colours are blooming and the weather is cool enough that you won’t over heat. It’s perfect. A few weeks ago we were travelling to Ontario for my brother’s wedding, which was so great, and we drove through the American way. We spent one night in North Dakota and the other night in Michigan. We woke up early after our second night and decided to go for a hike for a couple of…

Noah’s Ark Waterpark What a fun place to spend a day (or two). When I was little we went to Noah’s Ark on vacation. I’ll never forget constantly asking if my brother, who’s name is Noah, could get in for free because of his name. I was so proud of him and thought he should be rewarded! The sun was out, the day was 32 degrees C or 90 degrees F, and it was September 1. Thank goodness for the heatwave that moved in to…

Photos: Milwaukee Zoo
Milwaukee Zoo Milwaukee Zoo. What a place. We’ve been to a few zoos – the Dallas Zoo, the LA Zoo and then some animal places in Las Vegas. This zoo is great. Different from other zoos, yet still just as fun. One of the best parts about this zoo – the cost is only 14.95$ a person. What? So cheap. Okay – being from Canada, I just loved these lazy grizzly bears. Not only were they adorable, but their claws – look how big they…

Photos: Las Vegas Neon
On our recent and most likely our last trip to Las Vegas for awhile (time to visit other cities!) we toured some vintage neon. Below you’ll find some beautiful, old and iconic neon signs. Enjoy! The tour of the Neon Boneyard Park is so worth the visit. The tour and the stories are so awesome – these pictures don’t clearly convey the vastness of it all. Hearing all the interesting background stories on the photos above is worth the visit. Give yourself a couple of…

Photos: San Francisco
San Francisco! When I was 18 I lived in Santa Clara, California for about 6 months. It was awesome…I missed my family, yet made friends and quickly found out that San Francisco was referred to as “the city”. Well, let me tell you, it lives up to it’s name. Here you’ll find ways to see San Francisco as a local, yet also do some of the touristy things the city is know for – like the Cable Car. I’ll walk you though our 2 night,…

Photos: Mexico
Before the Trip Crossing the border into Mexico – through San Ysidro, San Diego. The plan – visit Tijuana, Mexico for a few hours while we were vacationing in Southern California. I called our car insurance provider to ensure we would be covered if something happened – minor damage all the way up to third party liability – she said no. Actually, she screamed NO in capital letters causing me massive frustration. In response I articulated that we were not the first, surly, to venture…
