What one would you choose? We have been preparing What one would you choose?

We have been preparing the trailer and teasing about redoing her exterior for a while now.  Since winter is slowly releasing her grip, we are about to have her wrapped! 😁

A good friend of ours owns @tmbranding.ca and we are contracting them to make our TCC pretty again❗

Above are 3 options that we have narrowed down to.  As you know, we love nature, and we wanted to bring that element to the trailer.

So, just curious... out of the three, what would you choose A, B or C?❓

Does anyone else collect sea glass? Our daughter Does anyone else collect sea glass?

Our daughter is always on the lookout for glass, and a real treasure is finding blue glass.  Green is the most common around us, with white coming in second, then brown. If you are fortunate, you'll find red!

Now that winter is releasing her grip on the lakeshore, there are lots to discover.  She has some grand ambitions for making jewelry and starting an Etsy shop.  We'll keep you posted should any designs come out. 😁

The winter winds off Lake Ontario can be pretty bone chilling during the depth of winter. 

The change of season has started!  There is so much to look forward to!  Spring flowers, birds migrating back north, trees budding. 

Who’s ready for spring? 🌷

Bronte Creek Provincial Park was our destination to explore the ravine trails, and with the fresh snow down, it was perfect conditions. 

These new shoes have great metal teeth for grips that made descending the trail into the valley so easy.  Once down we were able to stay aloft on the fresh now and explore the ravine. 

We are certainly getting our money’s worth out of the annual Provincial Park pass this year! ✅

Sadly we’re seeing really warm temperatures roll in and this might signal the last snowshoe hike of the year. 

Bring on Spring! 🌸

Mountsberg Conservation area created the Winterlit trail experience with art installations and lighting along their Sugar Bush Trail.  We are so happy we decided to reserve a spot.  Bundling up for a late evening hike, we strolled along through the forest and were even treated with a hot chocolate and cookie by a campfire.  The evening was made even more special with fresh snowfall the day before our excursion.

The park did an excellent job creating the event, and reserving your time in advance meant the trails were quiet and social distancing was easy.

We love discovering different and unique events to help break up some of the monotony of isolation.  We're researching the next one!  Unless anyone has a new idea to share?

    Why RV Travel With Kids Makes Sense

    April 1, 2019 /

    What is it with weddings and RVs? The catalyst for our first RV rental experience was a wedding several provinces away. And our second rental was also prompted by a wedding invitation, but this time, we were travelling by RV with a toddler! Our daughter was just two years old when we were invited to a wedding in Northern Ontario. We’re talking Thunder Bay kind of north, not the typical Southern Ontario definition of “north.” Colin lived in Thunder Bay for nearly a decade before we were together, and often described the beautiful drive up Highway 17. The invitation was the perfect excuse for a road trip, and the decision…
