    Tremblant International Blues Festival – All the Shades of Blues

    August 10, 2017 /

    The village at the base of Mont-Tremblant is awake in a riot of Blues, Purples and Golds. Spotlights, instruments, televisions, bleachers decorate the pedestrian village. Crowds of all ages fill the streets and common spaces between restaurants and shops. Here the sights and sounds of the International Blues Festival wake you up and lull you to sleep in the middle of the month of July at gorgeous Mont-Tremblant in Quebec. On the 24th ever occasion of the Festival International Du Blues De Tremblant I am visiting with a group of travel writers. Together, we are experiencing the best of all the activities that Tremblant has to offer in the summer…

    Staying in the World’s Largest Log Castle – Chateau Le Fairmont Montebello

    August 24, 2016 /

    A chance to stay in the World’s Largest Log Castle? Yes, please. This summer my family traveled to Quebec’s Outaouais Region. We stayed in Gatineau and explored the beautiful parks and had a big adventure zip lining at Arbraska Lafleche Caves and Aerial Park. Then, after a visit to the incredible Parc Omega we drove an hour down the road towards Montebello. This rustic log castle has so much history and style. Add it to your list of incredible accommodations in the region now. Make it the setting for your yearly family vacation destination. If you have not heard of Montebello before, I’ll forgive you. Time to discover this incredible…

    Parc Omega is a Wild Family Travel Adventure #Outaouaisfun

    August 22, 2016 /

    This July we had a wild family adventure at Parc Omega in the Outaouais Region of Quebec. There are probably a lot of jokes to be made here about wildlife and family for instance. And I am not above cracking wise on occasion but this adventure was enjoyable from start to finish and it was a highlight of our family trip to Quebec. No jokes or puns needed. Just pure education and fun and memories made together at Parc Omega. The best part of travel writing and blogging is sharing adventures with my family and creating memories. We began our family trip this year in Gatineau Park and spent a…

    If you love to ski, or if you just love to play in the snow, I’ve got 5 of the best ski resorts in Canada to tell you about.

    Dog Sledding Near Mont Tremblant

    April 13, 2015 /

    Dog Sledding Near Mont Tremblant on a wintery March day can bring out the child in anyone. Snug as a bug in a rug. We are racing through the snowy upper Laurentians in Quebec, about 45 minutes from Mont Tremblant resort.  It is peaceful and calm and the mountains are majestic as the snow continues to fall. Three of us are on this one dog sled lurching out of the starting gate and my older daughter rides safely behind us with a driver of her own. Content. This is the definition of contentment and peace and it makes you almost forget how bitterly brutal the winter has been, because inside…

    Hugs from Dad #WordlessWednesday #Travel #Tremblant

    April 1, 2015 /

    I rarely share shots of my spouse here. Why? Because he hates having his picture taken. Sad but true. Husband of blogger hates having picture taken. Honestly. So capturing a nice shot of him on film is a big deal for me. I often point my iPhone at him when we travel and he turns or moves ruining the shot. Early in March we were all invited to Mont Tremblant to visit as a family unit. While we were there, the entire family learned how to ski in two days!! I am super proud of that, in case you couldn’t tell. We went dog sledding and we hiked and walked…

    50 Mont Tremblant Activities #Travel

    Mont Tremblant is stunningly beautiful and if you thought it was just for skiers and snowboarders, well you’d be wrong. Tremblant is for families of all ages and you can easily find things to do there every season. This post is all about the various exciting Mont Tremblant activities you can do, often together as a family, and sometimes separately due to age restrictions. I left a little piece of myself in Tremblant. Actually I think we all might have left something of ourselves there. After learning to ski (something I never thought I would do in my 40s) and then spending a couple of days recently getting acquainted with…

    Can Your Family Learn to Ski in Two Days?

    March 17, 2015 /

    If you had told me even one month ago that I’d be learning to ski in the Upper Laurentians of Quebec, on Mont Tremblant, in my mid-40s I think I would have told you to stop drinking. I am a yoga girl, body flow, centergy, weights, planks – I am good at all of those. Swimming, I endure as a means of fitness, and because pools are mostly warm. But, skiing? Well, the thought never crossed my mind until last weekend when the opportunity presented itself and then I thought why doesn’t the entire family learn to ski together? Last weekend we flew to Mont Tremblant, Quebec with Porter Airlines…
