Today we ventured out to the Kilby Historic Site situated in Harrison Mills, BC. It is a beautiful and scenic drive taking Hwy 7 from Mission. Once there, we took a step back in time to experience life as it once was. The Visitor Guide tells about the people and history of the area and…

Off-Grid and What Does That Actually Mean?
In today’s society everyone is plugged in and “on” all of the time. For many of us checking our phone for messages, tweets, Tik Tok, Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest is a multiple-times-a-day thing to do. I admit, I do my fair share of those things as well. That is why part of my vacation this…
Road Trip Within BC And Amazing Poutine
As Spring arrives my thoughts turn to road trips and travel. With Covid still affecting touring, today I am going to reflect on a particular road trip heading into the interior of British Columbia.

A Cabin By The Lake And An Inflatable Stand-Up Paddleboard
Recently we went to a family member’s cabin in the BC interior Cariboo region. This particular cabin is at the end of the Lake Tyee where you are completely off grid. No electricity. No plumbing. No internet. No cell phone signal. It was magical! It was lovely to wake up to…
Cooking while camping does not have to be boring
How do you barbeque when you go camping? Is it the standard hamburgers, hotdogs, steaks and chicken? Or do you venture outside the norm and go for souvlaki or twice baked chicken wings? Last September, while in Oliver for our annual getaway we had a little tiny portable barbecue as well as a two-burner camp…
Hiking in Beautiful BC – The Chief
One of my favourite ways to relax on a weekend is to go for a hike or walk. Living in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia there is no shortage of places to get away to. I also love to take photos. I do not claim to be a professional by any stretch of the…
