Sicamous, BC - Another fabulous house boat adventure. This year we had two boats, Adrian, his kids and families on one boat and his siblings on another. Lots of laughs from the beginning to the end. No disputes, or issues of any kind. The water was very cool but swimmable, twe all slid, dove and played in and on the water. We even managed a Canada Day visit to the floating restaurant and bar! Evening fires and theme days rounded out an all-in-all good time.  Ice Cream finish at the iconic D Dutchman's ice cream and dairy in Sicamous.

Congratulations Owen - so proud of you!

My first lacrosse event ever. So much fun and Cael's team won the semi-final match - watch for final results on Thursday! I was very proud I managed a few action shots.

This hotel is a former estate nestled in the mountains. Beautiful architecture, buildings and lookouts, restaurant, rooms and hiking trails. We tried to book a room but sadly they were sold out.

We spent a wonderful afternoon and night in Waterton. The town is within the Waterton National Park. The town is quaint and feels a lot like Banff but without the crowds. The deer were everywhere in town.  The Prince of Wales Hotel is located overlooking the town of Waterton. Beautiful old hotel that's booked a year in advance. Highly recommend and want to come back.

So proud of you Cael!

The weather didn't cooperate for a visit to Prince Albert and Honeymoon, where Adrian grew up so we opted for a night in Winnipeg to break up the drive. We arrived mid-afternoon and had a lovely time walking and exploring the waterfront. We even had dinner at "The Forks" a fabulous outdoor park and gathering space along the river. My first ever take out ribeye...

Kenora - Today we had a ver long drive to Kenora, 14 hours or so. We arrived shortly before 8pm to our first miss accommodation wise. We booked the honeymoon suite - turned out to be a windowless room in a pretty rundown complex, and no restaurant. We had planned to spend two nights in Kenora and have now changed our minds - off to Regina. We arrived so late - no pictures at all.
Regina  - We got up and headed to Regina a day early. Our stop in Regina was specifically to spend time with Adrian's Aunt Stephanie and Adrian's cousins, Kelly and Wayne and Sharon.
​We had a fabulous time and again fell down on the family  picture taking. 

Today was a fairly long drive from Ottawa to Thessalon, in Ontario, on the shores of Lake Huron. Our motel, is indeed on the shores of the lake, beautiful beach, and freezing water. The motel is modest and the restaurant  left something to be desired. Excited to explore the area tomorrow!

We started today with a great cup of coffee in a newly opened coffee shop. The weather's not great - and we managed a walk on the beach next door. Thessalon is pretty small. Our motel has a restaurant - not great and the pub looks like it didn't make it. returned to the coffee shop for a great soup and sandwich.
