Travels With Stacey

Liard River Hot Springs was not cool and very cool at the same time. As part of our Alaska trip, I wanted to make sure we got to explore as much variety and as many unique places as we could and see places that are…

We are fortunate to live in an area with plenty of songbirds.  These flying musical delights are protected by law because they are just beautiful to have around.  Each morning, just before the sun rises, one bird starts to sing, followed by another, and then…

It has been a while since we have gone on a trip with Mom. We decided to show her Algonquin Provincial Park. This will be our second trip here, but her first, and it will also be the beginning of summer. The trip is designed…
