Grand Canyon Caverns – Everything to Know

April 30, 2019 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

I used to love driving.  The longer the drive, the better.  The first time I drove out west, I made the 3700 km trek from St. Jacobs, Ontario to Chateau Lake Louise (Alberta) in two and a half days.  By myself.  Without cruise control.  The muscles in my accelerator foot hurt like hell by the […]

L’Anse Aux Meadows National Historic Site – review

April 18, 2019 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

Coffee Cove Seaside Retreat Part 1 – Where To Stay

March 11, 2019 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Pizza Night in Rowley, Alberta – review

Sams Saloon on Pizza Night

If there’s one thing I’d pinpoint as the worst part of being a stay-at-home parent it has to be the fact that long weekends quickly lose their exceptionality.  Not only do they become meaningless with regard to my daily life, but they all too regularly become completely forgotten.  Such was the case this past August […]
