We're packing as much fun as we possibly can into summer around here. After our test camping trip, we hopped on two ferries and visited Vancouver Island for a few days. We went to Victoria first - one of my favourite cities and the place I lived for seven years. We still have a few… Continue reading Island Adventures
This past weekend we camped with two kids for the first time. This year Peter and I decided to invest a bit into camping as much as possible with our girls.
