A look back on the summer that was. You may have noticed things have been a little quiet around here over the past few months. It’s not from a lack of things to talk about. Quite the opposite, actually. These days, we just can’t seem to find enough time to write and publish blog posts. We have […]
30 Photos from our Winter Ski Trip to Sun Peaks
Winter fun at Sun Peaks Resort, British Columbia Given that it’s practically summer over here in the Pacific Northwest, it feels a little strange to be posting a photo essay from our winter trip to Sun Peaks Resort.

Sea to Sky Gondola in Squamish The first time we learned of the proposed plans for the development of the Sea to Sky Gondola we were driving to Whistler and passed a large sign promoting the project.

Road trips are always a good idea, especially in British Columbia
Manning Provincial Park, British Columbia We often talk about the importance of getting away, even if only for a few days. As a young family with a seemingly never-ending list of things to do, it’s easy to put life on hold while we attempt to cross each item off that nasty list. But, the thing […]
