We ❤️ airstreams! We’ll, truth be told we h We ❤️ airstreams!

We’ll, truth be told we have never camped in one but we sure do love the design of them! 

Eventually we will end up downsizing from our 32 ft Evergreen and an Airstream is top of the list for a couple’s trailer to travel in!

We headed straight to the @canamrv section at @thebigrvshow to check out these beauties!

They aren’t cheap trailers, but they are so well laid out!

Anyone else got a dream machine in mind?

@airstream_inc you make beautiful dreams!

I want to express my admiration and gratitude to all the amazing women who have shaped my life and the world.

From the mothers who raise us.
The sisters who support us.
The daughters who inspire us.
The partners who love us.

Women have always been the backbone of our society and the driving force behind progress and change.

I am in awe of their strength, intelligence, creativity, and compassion, and I am committed to standing with them in the fight for equality, justice, and respect.

You deserve all the honour, recognition, and appreciation in the world.

Thank you.

Their house has a forested lot right behind the backyard, and somewhere hidden amongst the trees and fallen wood is a coyote den!

When the snow falls they can see exactly where they walk all around the property searching for prey.  With a creek beside their house, they have access to a “wildlife hwy” to go about town without being bothered too much by cars and people.

Luscious moss everywhere! With spring like weathe Luscious moss everywhere!

With spring like weather happening right now, we decided to go for a hike.  It was amazing to discover all this beautiful moss thriving all over the rocks and logs!

While we should be snow shoeing through the park at this time of year, it was nice to see it in this bare spring light. 

I love the texture of moss!  That spongy soft feel!

The forecast is for 10cm of snow on Wednesday and minus 15c by Friday, so we are “soaking up” this little window of spring while we can!

The kind of snow where you try to walk on the top frozen layer without your weight pushing through to the soft stuff underneath. 

Or is that just me? 😆

The coyotes yipped all night long around the cabin!

We haven’t seen much sun this winter and it was so nice to see the big bright ball in the sky ☀️

Our trailer repair shop installed cheaper tires on her two years ago, and now 3 of them are failing. 😩

The highlight is the new air compressor we bought over the holidays.  You set the pressure you want and can walk away!  It auto stops!  Yeah @canadiantire!

How do you like how close together the trailers are parked?  I can even get the side door open all the way! 😄

    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…
