The bucket list bike ride down Kettle Valley Railway trail My sister and brother-in-law Wendy and Wes live in Hope, BC, Canada, approx 45 minutes from me. I’ve written about Hope HERE many times. I adore the area. It is SO forest-Canadian like. With all my adventures there, from camping in THIS cool bed and […]
When I glanced outside this AM, I noticed the clouds moved in. Going out onto the patio with my first coffee of the day, the air was crisp! How can that be? Yesterday was one of the hottest days we’ve had this summer yet! Signs that summer is coming to a close are looming ahead. […]
Alexandria Bridge and surprise junkin’! One of my VERY fav things to do in the whole wide world when traveling is to come upon new discoveries myself without having read about them first.

In my last post, I talked about taking my son to camp for the weekend, and rather than do all this driving for hours, I decided to look into staying at a bed and breakfast instead. I mean, to enjoy a new town by yourself, eating where you want and shopping wherever you please? What […]
I was cleaning up the travel trailer today after our last little camping adventure. And it left me feeling confused. Every summer we camp.
