Our family on a plane heading to the Dominican Republic in 2015 (and part of how we afford our holidays? I still wear that same t-shirt four years later!) 😉
Ever since we bought our camper a few years ago along with our good fortune to be able to go on winter holidays for a few years running, I’ve begun to feel that my life basically oscillates between those two annual highlights. We get off the plane in late February/early March, tanned and rested and […]
When we were at Echo a few years back, we met, befriended and hung out with (and got hungover with!) a few other young couples. (I know “young” is relative for me these days but Shea’s a lot younger than me so I follow her lead on that!) When we got our seasonal site at […]

Here’s a picture of my dad with eight of […]
It’s hard to pick a favourite part of our quick trip to Calgary – seeing the pandas at the Calgary Zoo (though gorillas and hippos will always be my favourites), driving past so many of our old haunts (even tried to buzz a neighbour whose name is still on the board at our former condo […]
