Victoria Day Weekend

It’s the start of Victoria Day weekend, the  “unofficially” kick off to the start of summer and all the fun and adventures it has to offer.

As a parent, I want the same for my child. While we don’t have a trailer to visit, we plan on making our own memories in everything we do. If you are … Continue reading →

The Local Tourists When our daughter small, we would sometimes travel along some of the Toronto Bicycle paths. … Continue reading →

This year I visited the CNE twice. The first visit was with my husband and daughter as a birthday fun day. My second visit was with friends, a girls day out.

My daughter was excited to go on as many rides as she could. It doesn’t matter when you visit, there are always shots of the fountain. The meeting place should … Continue reading →
