We road trip every summer to British Columbia to Grandma & Papa’s lake house. Though we’ve done this road trip countless times, we always look for hidden treasures to stop at on our trips. Two years ago we stopped at 3 Valley Gap near Revelstoke, BC. We had never stopped before and it was the […]

5 Things About Disneyland That Surprised Me

By 2 Comments

Believe it or not, vacations (especially with kids!) aren’t all roses and sunshine! Even at “The Happiest Place on Earth”, there were things that surprised me…and things that I just didn’t ‘get’ or really like about the park, so I’d like to share my perspective as a first-time family goer. 1.

Keeping Kids Safe on Vacation

By 10 Comments

As we were waiting for the gates of Disney California Adventure to open on our last day in California, we ended up chatting with a nice family from Kelowna, BC.

By 17 Comments

I have been prepping our oldest son Braden, who just turned 6, for Disneyland since he was old enough to pay attention to the opening credits of any Disney movie we would watch. “Look! That’s the Disney castle! It’s real, you know…and some day we’ll go there!” Braden would often asked if Lightning McQueen lives in […]

Day Trip to Banff

By 3 Comments

I can’t really pinpoint exactly why, but I’ve been a bit on edge and anxious lately. No specific reasons, just little pieces of many things. We’ve been trying to get to Canmore or Banff for over two years to go hiking as a family…but we continually put it off. When Jay suggested that we go […]

Traveling to Maui With a Young Family
