Garfield Monument
The day was Labour Day, and it is one of the hardest days to plan when we are on a trip. Monday’s are particularly bad since many of the places we want to see are closed, and then there’s the consideration that it was a…
Cranbrook House and Gardens
It is hard to believe that it has been three years since we last visited Cranbrook House and Gardens. This location has been one that I have been trying to revisit, but there are so many other places that also demand our attention. It was…
The Disappointment of Anne Shirley
The summer of 2024 saw us head to the East Coast. Charlene mentioned that she wanted to head to Prince Edward Island to see all the Anne of Green Gables stuff. Initially, I had planned on skipping this small province and saving all those attractions…

Stan Hywett Hall and Garden
Charlene and I have one favourite attraction over all others: heritage homes. Be it a log cabin in the woods and learn the story of the first settlers to the vast and opulent mansions of the incredibly rich. When I am making plans for a…
The Historic Triangle
I was really looking forward to taking my wife to see and experience the Historic Triangle. As Canadians, our country’s history is about 200 years old. It is tough to find anything before the mid-1800s. If you go to the USA, there is history all…
