41 Amazing Things To Do in Norfolk County Now
Who knew that Norfolk County was a destination full of potential adventures so close to home? I certainly had no idea when I booked a quick trip to visit Long Point Eco Adventures this summer. In fact, I originally pictured a few fun activities and some relaxing at the beach. What we ended up with was so much more. This summer, right before school went back, I decided to take my girls on a quick trip somewhere in Ontario. We looked at a few options and also checked Glamping Hub for ideas. (my guilty pleasure) Then we landed on Long Point Eco Adventures and decided we’d give glamping a try.…

Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District – Comfort and Value
Our trip to Philadelphia was sponsored by Visit Philly and we were hosted while in Philadelphia. Accommodations, flights, meals and attractions were covered. My opinion is truthful and all my own. Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District offers a hotel experience that’s affordable and convenient. When it comes to hotels and family travel comfort, location and affordability are the trifecta of travel planning. Sticking to a budget can be important because feeding four and five people, and paying for their flights gets costly. So, you need to look at generating savings where possible. My daughter and I recently took a 4-night long mother-daughter trip to Philadelphia, and our home base for four nights…

Family Fun 2.0 with Ebates Travel Thursdays
This post has been sponsored by Ebates Travel Thursdays which means I received compensation. My opinion is all my own and it is also truthful. Summer is rapidly running out and that makes me sad. I still don’t feel like I got enough of a vacation. Why does summer go so fast? Every year I love to take time with my family before they go back to school.

All the Best Things to Do in Saguenay Lac Saint Jean
Saguenay Lac Saint Jean was a complete mystery to me when we arrived there after touring Quebec Maritime and Quebec City this spring. I didn’t really know what to expect and I had never been before. Sometimes those adventures are the best. Having no preconceived notion of what to expect allowed me to let my imagination run wild. I’d say the sky is the limit when you take that kind of trip but it’s only half true in Saguenay Lac Saint Jean. The sky, the lake, the mountains and fjord are really the only limits. Boasting some stunning natural vistas, a spectacular lake, which many say looks more like an…
