During our two night stay in Wolfville when we were on the #MurphysDoNS roadtrip we explored the Annapolis wine region very briefly and ended up at the Le Domaine de Grand Pré‘s restaurant for lunch. We spent a very picturesque afternoon with Baby Boy and Little Monkey at Le Caveau, in the heart of the Annapolis Valley. […]
During our travels through Nova Scotia we spent a very relaxing weekend on the Bras d’or Lake in Cape Breton by checking out a cottage rental through Vacations Abroad. The Kayak Cape Breton has three cottages and we stayed in the two bedroom Boat House Cottage right on the lake with Baby Boy and Little […]
Our whirlwind trip out east came to an end as we hoped on a WestJet flight with the kids back to Toronto last Thursday. Honestly if given a chance the Little Monkey would have gladly said she’d stay back with her Nana and Papa but of course we didn’t give her that option! We had […]
Our Nova Scotia adventures started out in Halifax as we checked into the historic Lord Nelson Hotel in downtown Halifax with a toddler and baby. I’ve been to Halifax about three times and all three visits have been spent at the Lord Nelson. The hubs’ mom loves the hotel and since they frequent Halifax (the […]
Our first full day in Halifax was a busy one on the waterfront and the hubs made us walk over to the North End that evening to explore the area he used to live at. Of course much has changed, except for the popular movie store (yes.. one still exists) and we dined out at the […]
Halifax was our starting point for #MurphysDoNS and on our first day we decided to explore the Waterfront with the kids. The second largest natural harbour in the world, the Halifax Harbour, is home to the world’s largest boardwalk that spans 4 kms. The boardwalk is the perfect way to kick off a vacation as […]
Chicago is that perfect middle spot for most North Americans living on the East Coast and for us Torontonians, Chicago is only an eight hour drive away. Now mind you, took the hubs and I 12 hours in a snowstorm during our pre-baby days. Took us 12 hours with two kids on a bright sunny […]
During our recent trip to Chicago we decided to take in a tour of the famous Wrigley Field with the toddler and baby. No we didn’t watch a Cubs game, instead we did the geeky thing and coughed up $25 each to hear all about the ins, outs and history of the place. The El […]
Last year on Canada Day I was travelling through Ireland with the hubs, Little Monkey and my parents-in-love. This year we’re travelling through Nova Scotia with the addition of Baby Boy. So from our family to yours… Happy Canada Day! Here we are just about to check out of our hotel in Wolfville to head […]
Tall buildings with stunning views have always attracted me and any place we visit, I hunt these spots down. During our recent Chicago travels I had high hopes of visiting two such spots but with six adults and four kids we only managed to get to one of them, 360 CHICAGO. Located right by Lake […]
