The West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island!! You have to apply for it now with them needing to control the number of people and also a safety issue. Quite a few years back now, before having to apply or make reservations, my husband has done the trail 3 different times! He has done the trail when it was very wild and sections of it were very dangerous!! Gradually, they have made parts of the trail so much safer!! Absolutely spectacular scenery!! There are many other great areas and trails all over Vancouver Island and on the mainland!! So glad for you and your mom having a special, easy going getaway!!🤙💖💕 Wishing you and your wonderful family a very Merry Christmas!!🤗🎄🌟🥰🧑🎄🎅☃️👏❤️🇨🇦
So glad you got to get away together. What fun! The B n B is too cute and cozy. Enjoy every moment together. ❤ ooohhhhh the lights! I absolutely love it. I love Christmas lights. Thanks for sharing. Y'all are precious. ❤
You guys are the best! I smiled the whole time. Vacation where I hike or it’s cold? No thanks. Lol. I love the beach. Myrtle Beach in South Carolina or OuterBanks in North Carolina. Such a fun time together you had. Very happy for you❤️
Fun video! I and my adult daughters do a "girls trip" every year. Usually in Jan /Feb. It's something we love to do. We rent a home and spend 4/5 days away, unwinding from the holidays and hype. After preparing for all the holidays, its nice for us to have this to look forward to. It's a great bonding time. We play card games, puzzles, read books, laugh, nap, and cook some favorite foods. Great to see you and your Mom did the same!
What a great "Precious Memory" Momma and Daughter have made with these couple of days you were able to get away and have "girl power"!!! I truly love that Jack and Jessica are still very close to Mom and Dad as they have been growing up and finding their paths to travel on!!! God bless both of you and the "boys" too, and have a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and a productive 2025!!!
Jessica, I am so happy that you and your mother took a trip together to Brockville. It looks like a nice little town and its Christmas lights looked so beautiful.
Be safe! That place looks a bit like one of Mr. Ballen's scariest podcast episodes that I recently watched minus the Christmas aspect but with plenty of snow. Tell your mom she and your dad are examples of really great parents. I hope your dad is able to care for all your dogs and sheep in your absence. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁!
I love going on mommy daughter’s sleep overs. Nice to see you have mini holiday after exams and mom almost after lambing lol. Enjoy your time together.
That was amazing, glad you enjoyed it with your mom and glad you guys enjoyed it with each other, Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and your family!!❄️🎄❤️👍
Your hair is getting so long love it!! Enjoy these memories. My mom is now in her 80s. We used to go to New York City every holiday season to go Christmas shopping and see the radio city Christmas show. We have not been able to do that in a number of years. I miss it!
Good for you Jess taking a trip with your mom it took me till i was in my 40s to do it now that she is not here i can look back an remember the good times we had
Hi Jess!! Wow!! What a wonderful mini vacation for you and your mom!! Brockville looks like a Hallmark town. The light show was awesome and I would love to visit that bookstore! I’m so glad you both had a relaxing time together. Thanks for sharing! 💜
A fainting couch perhaps??? lol! Would not have thought of Brockville as a winter destination but I’m sure it’s super cute! Long drive!! There’s a cute town out that way called Almonte. Check it out if you’re ever out that way again some time!
Aanii! You were in my area, I recognized my book shop! My neighbours went to the same light night. Ironically I went camping in your neck of the woods last summer. Hope you have an amazing holiday season!
Oh! I’m here so early! Can’t wait to watch! 🎄🎄🎄 Love that you are a reading family. Ours was/is too. What a beautiful Christmas light village! I LOVE Love Actually! Beignets are the Louisiana doughnuts. I loved traveling with my mother. Y’all are so lucky. 🥰🥰🥰🎄🎄🎄
You are SO your Mother's child!!! My heart melted watching you both having this little getaway; precious moments Jess - you are so very blessed - I just adore ya my friend!!! Merry Christmas and wishing you and the family the most Happiest & Healthy New Year to come!!!!
I love that you did this trip. What a cute bnb. The daybed in the living room looked so comfy. I am in Kansas City, so it's nice to see you in a KC Chiefs sweatshirt. We love our guys here. Merry Christmas to you all.
So the Brock’s are going to Brockville? How interesting. Enjoy the time with your Mama. You can’t replace it. The lights are beautiful! Poor Jess no cheese. 😢. Great video, Jess. I really enjoyed it. Thank you. Merry Christmas to you!
Great Mother and Daughter Bonding time absolutely amazing I love seeing the both of you going on adventures together and Thank you for Sharing and Merry Christmas ladies 🎁🎄🌟⛄️🎁
Loved watching you and your mom on your mini getaway! ❤ Books, Xmas lights, awesome cozy air B&B, exploring a new place... Just wonderful. We're barreling right towards Xmas, aren't we? I'll be sad that there's only one more episode, but so grateful you put the time and effort into vlogmas, Jess - thank you! 💗🎄⛄🎅🎁🎇
So glad that you enjoyed "Alight at Night" at Upper Canada Village (our area) and your time in Eastern Ontario. There are so many great get away opportunities in Ontario and in the rest of Canada. When we travel we enjoy visiting the small towns and villages. A fisherman on the wharf in New Brunswick has alot in common with a farmer in Ontario, all you have to do is take a few minutes to stop and talk. I enjoy the videos, Merry Christmas
Brookville is wonderful. We used to camp just outside of Kingston when our children were small. Your dream trips sound wonderful, all of them. I've been living and touring most of Canada, except the west coast, Yukon, and Northeast Territories. One day, I hope to do it all. Nice to dream. Thanks for sharing.
Oh wow you all were trying to remember beignets. They are the best! You probably had them at Cafe du Monde. Also Jess they make a pill you can take or chew (it helps enzyme really) to help you digest lactose. It’s called lactaid. My husband uses them to eat pizza. Hope it helps.
Whoa! When I recommended the Upper Canada Village on your mom's channel, I didn't realize it was only a 4.5-hour drive from where you all live or that the town nearby is named Brockville. That Christmastime lightshow is amazing.
Hi Jessica, I am fairly new to your channel. Just want to say how much I love your videos. Love how real you are. Anyway, thanks for bringing all of us along. Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!🥰🎄🎅❄☃️
Our favorite, low cost, four day trip that would be so fun as a family was to see the beginning of the Iditarod race in Alaska. So much to learn and if you love animals, so many dogs and information about how they live to pull those sleds! It's always the first full weekend in March and there's always a ceremonial start in Anchorage with a fun parade and reindeer run right down the middle of the street. You can sign up to go on side trips to visit the homes of the mushers and meet their dogs and ride in dog sleds. We went to the musher's banquet where we sat at a table with an experienced racer/musher and could ask all the questions.
Oh boy you should look into the Appalachian Trail it a walking trail that goes from the upper east coast down through the mountains to I believe South Carolina or Georgia. People will do it by sections or the whole trail at one time. Beautiful part of our country.
Epic Family Road Trip--- af family in Canada does overloading road trips with the kids who are now adults. Such adventures they went on... You should look at some of their trips!!
Mount Washington, NH in the Summer is a great hike if you're looking for great views and a not-so-easy but won't kill you hike. But if there's high winds forecast, don't go up there that day, even in the Summer. Also, the leaves in the Fall in New England. Vermont has the Green Mountains and the White Mountains if you're looking for hiking areas and spectacular views. Lake Champlain tour boats out of Burlington, VT is a great sightseeing trip. It's a college town, so bookstores and coffee shops too. I think the boats are called something like Champ Tours after the Lake Champlain Monster aka Champ.
What about the appalacian trail etc for hiking that isnt everest basecamp . Id love it if you guys would consider South Africa. We have lots of grain and sheep farming here too.
I love Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Prince Edward Island. Ontario is also beautiful, I want to go to Quebec City. I live in the USA, and I get mixed up on your provinces, I think that's what you call them. Great mom and daughter trip! Merry Christmas
Jess I still can't get over your hair. I love, love, love your curls!
I was surprised that the list of reasons for picking your destination didn't include the name, "Brock"ville. That would've been #1 for me! 😊

The ‘donut things’ in New Orleans are beignets. So good!!
Pronounced Ben-Yay’s!
Merry Christmas to you and your whole family! That books store was loaded and the light show was cool!
I enjoyed watching you have both father/daughter and mother/daughter time this holiday season. Cherish these special family moments!
Jessica, you and your Mom are so fun! May you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a very safe and Happy New Year! 🎄🥳
Glad the two of you got some down time! Merry Christmas!

Have sweet memories of both Kingston & Brockville! I'm pretty sure our Uncle Graham took us to explore Upper Canada Village long, long ago!👍💕💕
Thank you for sharing. This brightened my day. Totally Loved it. Merry Christmas!🎄💕
Thanks for bringing us along on your getaway.
BC has a ton of great hiking trails

Jessica, I am so happy that you and your mother took a trip together to Brockville. It looks like a nice little town and its Christmas lights looked so beautiful.
I was obsessed with Gilmore Girls. How special for you and Mom to go on this special getaway. A scrapbook would be amazing to see of your trips.
Be safe! That place looks a bit like one of Mr. Ballen's scariest podcast episodes that I recently watched minus the Christmas aspect but with plenty of snow. Tell your mom she and your dad are examples of really great parents. I hope your dad is able to care for all your dogs and sheep in your absence. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁!

Brockville, auto correct 😂
Oh wow you all were trying to remember beignets. They are the best! You probably had them at Cafe du Monde. Also Jess they make a pill you can take or chew (it helps enzyme really) to help you digest lactose. It’s called lactaid. My husband uses them to eat pizza. Hope it helps.
Come to BC! Love your videos, and your vibes❤
Whoa! When I recommended the Upper Canada Village on your mom's channel, I didn't realize it was only a 4.5-hour drive from where you all live or that the town nearby is named Brockville. That Christmastime lightshow is amazing.
As a family we would take fishing trips to Canada. Our special place was in Gogama.
Merry Christmas !
Hi Jessica, I am fairly new to your channel. Just want to say how much I love your videos. Love how real you are. Anyway, thanks for bringing all of us along. Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!🥰🎄🎅❄☃️
Beignets (ben-yeah) so worth the wait in New Orleans
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Miss Jessica to you and your family.

There's challenging hikes in Canada, the Muskokas, Yukon, Newfoundland, Vancouver Island West Coast Trail (!) and of course in the UK 💕💕
Cafe au lait and beignets! ❤
I always wanted to hike the Appalachian Trail. It takes about six or seven months.
I could watch Love Actually every day in December!!! And I don’t even celebrate Christmas ❤❤❤❤
Oh boy you should look into the Appalachian Trail it a walking trail that goes from the upper east coast down through the mountains to I believe South Carolina or Georgia. People will do it by sections or the whole trail at one time. Beautiful part of our country.
It is begins on the north side of the country in Maine and down to northern Georgia. It takes months to walk the entire thing.
Epic Family Road Trip--- af family in Canada does overloading road trips with the kids who are now adults. Such adventures they went on... You should look at some of their trips!!
You were so close to Merrickville you would have loved the small town. Great place to walk around lots of same shop to visit.

Go to Glacier National Park in Montana. Hiking, lakes and beautiful views!
🎅 Merry Christmas🎄 Blessings 😇to you☃️ and your🦌 family ❤
For the Kite Runner, that was a very intense book for me emotionally. Great book but a hard read emotionally.
Love the Love Actually movie
I lived in Brockville years ago, and my family still lives there. It is a small cute town
I like the lights. It is so cold here didnot go out i stay at home.
Read the Kite Runner years ago but it remains one of my favorite books ever.
Watching this makes me miss my daughter so, so much!!
So fun!
So I m thinking about next Christmas, l think a jingle bell sleigh ride should be on the menu ❄️🎄🕊️
What about the appalacian trail etc for hiking that isnt everest basecamp .
Id love it if you guys would consider South Africa. We have lots of grain and sheep farming here too.
How many times have you guys made it here to the mitten state, since it's so close?
I love Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Prince Edward Island. Ontario is also beautiful, I want to go to Quebec City. I live in the USA, and I get mixed up on your provinces, I think that's what you call them. Great mom and daughter trip! Merry Christmas
New Orleans - Cafe du Monde beignets and cafe au lait
oh you're going to love the kite runner.
Fun!!!
Brockville … so appropriate for the Brock’s. ❤ 🎄
