Inquisitive minds will enjoy checking out Big Nickel and Dynamic Earth in Sudbury, Ontario. I have to admit that I have lived in Northern Ontario for twelve years, and this was my first time checking out Dynamic Earth. It's been on my travel bucket list for a while now, and I can now say that I'm checking it off the list. I've been to Science North countless times, and … [Read more...]
Northern Ontario Railroad Museum & Heritage Centre #SudburyTourism
"I never even knew such a place existed in the North!" (Little One, aged 7 in reference to the Northern Ontario Railroad Museum & Heritage Centre) I have to be honest.

Heritage Park #VisitCalgary
Family travel for us always has to include something that interests every member of our family. Hubby is a history buff and enjoys educational trips to museums. The man is a walking encyclopedia and a master of trivia. I also love museums, but enjoy the arts as well. Theatre, art galleries, musicals, concerts, poetry readings...all my cup of tea. Little One? Well, she's … [Read more...]
A Knight (Okay, A ‘Night’) to Remember! Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament {Giveaway}
Something only my friends I went to CÉGEP and university with know about me is that I have a deep fascination for the Medieval Period (particularly the architecture, churches, and society of that time).
