Just a short drive across the highway from the town of Banff is Lake Minnewanka. I had been there many times before, since it’s such a scenic drive with gorgeous views. Yet, never have we stopped at the lake and took a good look around. On our last family trip to the Canadian Rockies, we…
Our family trip to the Canadian Rocky Mountains started with a scenic drive to the Jasper area. Our destination: take a tour on the Columbia Icefield Glacier Adventure. The last time I had gone to the Columbia Icefields was 13 years ago, and the rest of my family have never been. We knew it would…
Disclaimer: We didn’t actually climb this mountain as the title implies. I think my 5 year old twins would complain just a little too much for my liking and patience. Instead, we had a little {fun} help climbing this mountain! On our family trip to Banff National Park in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, we…
This weekend we took a family trip to Banff National Park, a popular gem hidden in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. We are fortunate to live just a few hours away, so we try to visit as often as possible. Each time we go, we have new adventures, see new things. So, I can report…
Last weekend our family took a little day trip into Edmonton. One stop was to West Edmonton Mall. It used to be the world’s largest mall {record held until 2004}, yet at the equivalent to 48 city blocks, it’s still one huge mall to walk. One of the girls’ favorite things to do at…
The Royal Tyrrell Museum is a popular Canadian tourist attraction in Drumheller, Alberta. The location also referred to as ‘the badlands’, the Tyrrell Museum is a leading centre of palaeontological research noted for its collection of more than 40 dinosaur skeletons with more than 110,000 fossil specimens. While we have visited this museum many…
Yesterday my family and I took on Capital Ex 2012 in Edmonton. One huge exposition and amusement park, it was a fun-filled day for us all. So many photos to share, so be forewarned – this is a photog-filled post. Yet, in words, here are the highlights that you won’t want to miss: The Aluminum…
Mini donuts, bells ringing, cotton candy, music playing, and the ‘woosh’ sounds from nearby rides – it’s Capital Ex time! From July 20-29, Edmonton will be filled with excitement as thousands take in the annual fair and exhibition, Capital Ex. My family and I are so excited to take a trip into ‘the city’, to…
One of the advantages of living in Central Alberta is that the beautiful Canadian Rocky Mountains are just a short drive away. Because of this fact and because it’s just one amazing place to visit, I have gone to Banff {Alberta} many times in my life. A couple weeks ago we ventured there for a…
This past weekend, we took a mini family holiday to Banff, Alberta {in Banff National Park}. I say ‘mini’ because the area is close enough to be termed our backyard. This photo isLake Minnewonka, a short drive from the town of Banff. Beautiful, isn’t it? Stay tuned for more more posts on our stay in Banff,…
This past week I was in Toronto attending the 2nd annual BlissDom Canada Conference, this time bigger and better than ever. It was held at the Hilton Toronto, the perfect venue for such a conference. The rooms were great and there was plenty of room for 350 of Canada’s top women in social media…
Last weekend, I had the opportunity to meet some fabulous key players in social media, get a glimpse into the world of Nokia, play with a whole lotta phones and bask in the beauty of the Canadian Rockies. All at the same time. Cool eh? I was in Canmore, Alberta for Nokia Unfenced: Canadian…
