Falling in Love with Old Quebec City
We visited Old Quebec City and despite parking nightmares, intense heat and crowds, we were not immune to the European charm and centuries of history that were literally everywhere!

Hidden Falls, Cape St. George and Blue Beach An Adventure of Hits and Misses
There are lots of "hits and misses" when you're driving around and exploring a province the size of Newfoundland. We had both on this day's adventure! We chose this Peninsula to explore finishing with Blue Beach as the Goal. We chose our exploration area by looking at the map and picking a piece of land that really jutted out into the ocean. Our experience has been that these spots offer lots of coves and lots of great ocean beaches to explore, great scenery to enjoy, and uni

Halifax: Third Time's the Charm!
Sometimes the best adventures are worth the wait – and the multiple attempts. We wanted to get the most out of our single day in Halifax, and after three tries, we finally made it happen! Our first attempt in 2019 was thwarted by Hurricane Dorian, which caused significant damage to the boardwalk. In 2023, extreme flooding kept us away again. So yes, we were a bit skeptical heading into round three – but sometimes persistence pays off! Perfect Day, Perfect Timing Halifax Plans
