For us, it was the first Doors Open event of the year. I mapped out the places I wanted to take Charlene and made an itinerary. Our first stop was the Ontario Regiment Museum. I have been wanting to go here for years and we finally made it on the…
It was a few years ago that we stumbled upon a sculpture garden. The day was getting late at the time, and we were exhausted from a full day of travelling and exploring. We both agreed that we would save this destination for another trip.…
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…

We woke to a surprisingly beautiful morning at Fushimi Lake. This has to have been one of the best campsites we have stayed at, all because of the fantastic view and our private beach. I booked this site in February and am so glad I…
Kakabeka Falls Provincial Park was the last stop on our Thunder Bay trip a few years back. We arrived in the evening, and we were exhausted. We briefly looked at it, fighting the bright sun that was beginning to set. Considering how far and long…
