AKA Building the Perfect Campsite. In 2019, we heard through the grapevine of a small, private campground that had seasonal sites for rent. We nearly jumped at the chance; we were tired of tearing our hair out trying to book campsites months and months in advance to get a spot. After talking with the ownerContinue reading “Our Seasonal Site Story”

Energy Bites
Make these before you head out. Oatmeal bite with nuts, fruits, chia seeds and hemp hearts. No added sugar or salt. Gluten free if gluten free oats are used. This is labour and time intensive (took me about an hour, excluding cutting the bars up). You will use a lot of muscles stirring the wetContinue reading “Energy Bites”
Barbecued Peaches
It’s peach season! Is there anything better than a ripe, juicy peach? Yes! BBQ’d peaches stuffed with ice cream and drizzled with a liqueur. Makes an easy and delicious dessert while camping. Take a peach and cut it in half. Remove pits. Place cut side down on the BBQ on medium heat until it beginsContinue reading “Barbecued Peaches”
Happy Places
I am at the beach. Cannon Beach in Oregon, I believe. Definitely Oregon in any event. I am sitting on a branch located on the beach, gazing into the ocean.

S’mores and Stretching in K-Country with Friends

This weekend was the start of our vacation; we carried on after the weekend to Clearwater B.C. https://ourhotelonwheels.ca/2021/04/15/wells-grey-provincial-park/.

Epic Midwest
In the latter part of May, 2016, we began our epic midwest trip. We started out at Lethbridge, Alberta for the Victoria Day long weekend, then headed east to visit our friend in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Manitoba was enjoying tick season and on a walk through the woods my husband and I both ended up withContinue reading “Epic Midwest”

We have spent many vacation days in Waterton Lakes National Park. Did you know Waterton Lakes is designated an International Peace Park due to the unguarded Canada/US border it shares with Glacier National Park, Montana? From spending time with extended family there, to trips with just the two of us, Waterton is a go-to spot,Continue reading “Wonderful Waterton”
