    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!!🤗🎄🌟🥰🧑‍🎄🎅☃️👏❤️🇨🇦

    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!!!

    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 🎄🎁!

    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

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.

    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.

    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.
