When Willow and I decided to hit up Montreal for a weekend of fun, I used my points to book a night at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth. This hotel is perfectly situated as it’s a short walk to many of the sights and about a 10-15 minute walk to Old […]
Canada
Old Montreal, Montreal, Quebec
Willow and I spent the day wandering around Old Montreal but to be honest, I mostly spent the day photographing Willow against the backdrop of Montreal. She’s just too beautiful not to take advantage of the epic combination of her face and incredible scenery. So, this post is less about […]
South March Highlands
The South March Highlands are one of the biggest reasons that I chose to live in Kanata. While a lot of my friends like to poke fun at me for living out in the ‘burbs, the fact that I have this incredible conservation area so close to my house gives […]
Warm, Sunny Sandbanks
I almost can’t believe that I didn’t know about Sandbanks prior to this year… Such a hidden gem and within driving distance of my house (about 3.5-4 hours). When it was suggested that a day trip out there was in order, I couldn’t say no. I mean, it is in wine country […]
Sweet Summer Days at Sandbanks
I couldn’t stay away! Visiting Sandbanks once clearly was not enough. A return to the beach was had and this time, with my sweet Willow in tow. Willow adored Sandbanks. In fact, she didn’t stop talking about it on the way home until she completely passed out from the fresh air […]
Rogers Hometown Hockey Tour: Day Two!
Today marked the end of the Kingston stop on the Hometown Hockey tour and what a great day it was! Today was a special day for hockey fans as Ron MacLean, Don Cherry and Doug Gilmour joined the Hometown Hockey festivities, which brought fans out in droves. All of the activities […]
Rogers Hometown Hockey Tour Hits Kingston, Ontario
In December of 2014, I was invited to visit Kingston, Ontario to explore the Rogers Hometown Hockey Tour. The Hometown Hockey Tour was a series of incredible (and free!) events, for communities across Canada, that featured fun activities and the opportunity to get out into the brisk air of our good ol’ Canadian winter. There […]
Visiting the Museum of Nature and… the Arctic!
Last weekend my sister and I decided to take Willow to the Museum of Nature. It had been awhile since we had gone there and they had a new exhibit on called “Arctic Voices” so we decided it was the perfect way to spend a cold winter day. Willow loves […]
An Incredible Experience in Old Montreal
It has been a really tough couple of weeks over here. Between the tragic shooting in our downtown core and an extremely busy work schedule, I have been feeling a bit of burnout. Whenever I get this way I tend to do one of two things: (a) take a break […]
Kids Club Day at the Ottawa Fury FC Game!
Today Willow and I found ourselves at the Ottawa Fury FC game where they went up against the Minnesota United FC. This was a first for both of us as neither of us had been to a professional soccer game before. To put the cherry on top of an already […]
