Travels With Stacey

We have visited the North Bay area several times, and I kept omitting to visit this one location.  I can’t tell you why.  It is effortless to find.  It is on the main road leading north of the city, has a huge parking lot, and…

Yorkville had its twice-a-year Fleur Des Ville exhibit.  This is quickly becoming a tradition to see these floral displays throughout the community.  I had decided to take my mother to see these exquisite arrangements.  One of the stops was Gardiner Museum.  This was a perfect…

Spencer Smith Park is conveniently located right off the highway.  It is a beautiful spot to see the lake, walk along the shore, and experience many events here. The Burlington Waterfront Sculpture Trail is one of those events, and it is in its second season…

The one thing about travelling is the experience.  It is all about the memories, the places, the new discoveries, learning and, well, the experience. If you look at my Featured Map, I have taken my wife to many places and have enjoyed the experiences that…

We started our love of the exploration of this world first by exploring waterfalls.  Our first significant day trip was The Grey Bruce Waterfall Tour.  An all-day event that leads us through some great country and see some stunning destinations.   From there, we began to…
