Travels With Stacey

Charlene and I visit many heritage homes that have become museums. Often, these places are filled with period furnishings, and we are given insight into the history of those who lived there and the community that they lived in. Most places we see are from…

One of our favourite places to visit is religious sites. We love shrines, churches, cathedrals and, in this case, St Patrick Basilica in Ottawa, Ontario. We were celebrating Family Day with Mom and decided that our weekend would be in the Ottawa region. Mom, too,…

I love planning trips, especially when I get lots of time to research and see what I want to do. Virginia Beach is not a place to visit during the final days of winter if you want some rays of sunshine and to start early…

One of my favourite things to do is travel. My second favourite thing to do is plan on the itinerary to travel. My third thing to do is researching all the places that we can go and see. My job has me off this March…
