Canada Travel by Canadian Lifestyle Blogger, Tammi Roy My Organized Chaos
The Calgary Stampede has been coined ‘The greatest outdoor show on Earth’, and it all starts July 7th, 2017. Since it’s Canada150 and the focus this year is on celebrations in a big way, I’m sure this year will be the GREATEST outdoor show for the Calgary Stampede yet. For those of you attending, chances…
From now until June 4th, you can put your skills to the test and immerse yourself in the world of Star Trek, which is what my daughters and I recently did at TELUS Spark in Calgary. It’s important to note that when you beam into the Star Trek Academy Experience at TELUS Spark, you needn’t…
During our stay in New Brunswick, we spent some time in St. Andrews by the Sea. It was a lovely town that totally captured my heart with so much to see and do. Yet, a big part of my love for this location had to do with our accommodations. Here is the incredible Algonquin Resort. …
Disclosure: I received IHG rewards points to facilitate Edmonton weekend away review. All opinions are 100% my own. To celebrate the end of one great summer break {and before the September chaos hit full swing}, our family took a weekend trip to Edmonton Alberta. This city, and Alberta’s capital, isn’t too far from where we call home….
After visiting the larger centres of Moncton and St John, we finished off our New Brunswick family trip in St Andrews by-the-Sea. This picturesque town is a place that completely stole my heart in the most unexpected of ways. I knew that I’d enjoy this leg in our trip, yet the vast impact which St. Andrews…
Disclosure: I received IHG rewards points to facilitate this review of this particular Calgary stay. All opinions are 100% my own. Calgary is a family-friendly city in Alberta that we visit often. Being so close to where we live, it’s one of our top choices for a weekend getaway. No matter what time of year, it’s…
While our family was in New Brunswick, and after taking in Moncton, we made our way to Saint John, the most populous city in the province. This southern New Brunswick city lies right at the entrance to the Bay of Fundy and is relatively close to the Maine USA border. This makes Saint John a…
The first leg of our recent New Brunswick family trip was spent in Moncton. We flew into the small airport after a long weather delay in Calgary, and we immediately felt more relaxed. I quite enjoy flying into small airport for the ease in getting out and on our way. It was only a short…
If someone told me that I’d one day be clam digging on the shores of Prince Edward Island, I’d most likely laugh. Yet there I was, rubber boots on and trudging in the iconic-red mud, whole-heartedly looking for that perfectly sized shellfish. The chance to go clam digging is possible thanks to Experience PEI, the Island’s…
I think we’ve all heard from someone (if not from many), that ‘Prince Edward Island is Beautiful.’ Since I’d never before visited our smallest Canadian province on the east coast, I had always wondered – how so? How is PEI beautiful? Simply because of the landscape? What does ‘a beautiful place’ truly mean? Recently I…
What are your summer plans? Us, we always stick closer to home during the summer months, and take in local activities and attractions. We might visit other provinces within Canada, but we rarely leave the country. After all, we Canadians have such a long and bitter winter, yet our summer weather is simply amazing. Many…
In the breathtaking British Columbia Rockies, there is a mountain resort called Nipika, nestled in a valley just outside Kootenay National Park. Just a 20 minute drive from Invermere, Nipika Mountain Resort is a place that brings you back to the basics. It’s a resort that the family goes to unwind, connect, unplug and play….
I’m fortunate that the City of Calgary is just a quick drive from where I live. It’s a city that we visit often – to take in attractions, do some fantastic shopping yet usually our stay is a wonderful mix of it all. One favourite through the years is a visit to The Calgary Zoo….
In a previous post, I showed you our cabin accommodations, during our stay at the Pine Lake Leisure Club with thanks to Parkbridge. Yet, a #glamping experience isn’t complete, without all the great amenities that this resort has to offer. Pine Lake Leisure Club has some great amenities for their guests, ones that really up…
Earlier this month the kids and I stayed at one of the Pine Lake Leisure Club Cabins, by Parkbridge. Just before our stay, my husband was called to work, so I invited a friend and her two kids to stay with us for the weekend. A multi-family summer trip to the lake? Sounds fun, right?…
This past weekend the kids and I {along with a friend and her kids}, took a double family road trip to Pine Lake, Alberta. We stayed at Parkbridge Leisure Club, a place that truly perfected the art of glamping. More about our weekend will come but for now, I’m sharing a snapshot of The Lake…
Ever since I was a young child and completely enthralled with Anne of Green Gables, I’ve always wanted to visit Prince Edward Island (PEI). Having been born and raised in Alberta, I’ve had a fascination with Canada’s smallest province and island. Perhaps it’s because when compared to the plains and mountains of Alberta, it looks like a whole…
I’ve lived here all my live and never went up the Calgary Tower. That fact is very odd to me. This Summer I decided to change that when my family and I set out to seize the Summer with Travelocity.ca. While in Calgary for our weekend getaway, we took the kids up the Calgary Tower,…
