Camping

The past weekend was glorious for camping with temps sitting in the high 20’s, few clouds in the sky and just enough of a breeze to whisk the sweet freshness of the Canadian Rockies across your face.

The kids and I jumped aboard the trailer and set out for some fun.

We had so much fun hiking, biking and making campfires.  We also went to the hot springs which I would like to say we enjoyed… but can pretty much be summed up as ... Parent’s don’t let your kids drink the pool water!  After only 10 minutes in the pool a kid (not mine) vomited everywhere from drinking the pool water and we all had to evacuate … $20 down the drain … the pool drain ...

As summer comes to a close, although we didn't get a ton of camping in this year, we sure had fun!  Hopefully next summer we can take a long camping trip down through the north of the US of A.! 

in need of an adventure

It’s rainy and dreary outside today which makes me just slump down in my chair, wishing I was curled up at home… in my bed… with a pot of tea... sigh

But since I’m not and I’ve been daydreaming of my next travel quest, here are my top three ADVENTURE destinations.

1.  The Glowworm Caves of New Zealand – seriously this looks amazing.  I’ve been caving before (which I loved) and these caves sound incredible

2.   Petra, Jordan – I wish to be riding camelback through the desert to this amazing lost city.  So much history! 

3.   Machu Picchu, Peru – Again, the ancient ruins of lost cities is fascinating to me.  Although it is an incredibly challenging hike, I would love the adventure and it is definitely on my bucket list.

I love a relaxing holiday, but this prairie girl is in real need of some adventure at the moment.
