Travel: Off the Continent
Off the continent – that’s right, I’m heading to another continent tomorrow! Whoo hoo. See, I told you I had a bit of a busy week ahead. I’ve been trip planning. Like so much trip planning. And getting laundry washed while cleaning the house for our wonderful puppy and house sitter. Our house will be secure and well loved while we are gone, which is why I don’t mind sharing our little (okay, big) trip with you. Off the Continent Now, the trip planning is…

Jasper Park Lodge We had a fabulous time in late February at this Fairmont Resort. Our plan was to visit earlier in the week, February 22-25 or so for a few nights, yet with work demands we had to put the trip on hold. We struggled with the idea of going for one night on the weekend, February 27-28, yet we are so happy we made the trip, especially since we recently said goodbye to Bella. The drive up from Edmonton was beautiful – clear…

Photos: Farmers’ Market
The famers’ market! The best place to spend your Saturday morning. Bryce and I hit up the Strathcona Farmers’ Market last weekend and got some pretty neat items. Some tomatoes and then a funky sculpture made out of scraps. Part of the fun is putting money back into the community by buying local. Another part is getting great tasting food. The colours of the food – so vibrant! It’s the fall, so you can the pumpkins and the variety of squash. They’re not just for…

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…

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…
