Travels With Stacey

Minnehaha Falls on Skeleton River is one of those places that I struggled to figure out how to visit. If you look on the map, it is right beside a road, but there is nowhere to park safely, and the climb from the road is…

Charlene and I like hiking, and we like art.  At Humanics Sanctuary and Sculpture Park, we could do both.  Located within a ravine just a short drive from Ottawa, Ontario, is a place that celebrates the diversity of all of mankind and honours the equality…

We first visited Queenston Heights in search of flowers, and it is part of my Chasing Flowers that we do every spring. This critical site in Canadian history and, most importantly, Canadian identity, is a great place to see spring flowers! Other than The Falls,…

St Michael’s Roman Catholic Church   St Michael’s Roman Catholic Church was our second stop with an afternoon with my parents . I took everyone here for two reasons: first, Charlene loves visiting ruins, and secondly, my father built churches for much of his career.…
