Travels With Stacey

It was a beautiful start to the day. The sun was bright, and the air embraced us with warmth. We had a few more places to see in Dawson City, and then we were off to Alaska. Alaska. The whole purpose of this epic summer…

Oftentimes, when we arrive at a location that we want to explore, it has one, maybe two, features that draw us there. For example, a city park with a duck pond and a garden, or another place with a few sculptures among some flowers. Rarely…

The northern city of Kenora was our last major Ontario stop on our recent travel of the continent and, ultimately, to Alaska.  Although we could only afford to spend a few hours in this great town by the lake, we captured as much of it…
