Our travel days are usually pretty uneventful. But this time, in Marseille, France, we had quite a day! So we decided to recap two of the stories on video. https://youtu.be/Iu6oVXbmEWg

I celebrated my birthday this week and Chris asked me what I wanted. I told him I wanted a balloon! I love seeing all of the fun balloons at the grocery store near the checkouts. Chris found a pretty balloon with flowers that said Happy Bir…

James is our first Poodle and our first white dog. I've seen dogs with tear stains on their eyes and mouths in the past and I didn't realize it was so hard to tackle! When we moved to Washington, DC, …

James found a new friend! His name is Dusty and he is a big horse! I wish I had video of it - James would run along the fence and Dusty would run along with him! They would go back and forth and it wa…

My cousin Mike told me I had to try huckleberries when I was in Montana. I didn't know anything about them. I looked at the grocery stores and all I found were jams and candies. I wanted fresh huckleb…

We didn't have any plans for our anniversary this year, but plans found us! We ended up going dancing with a bunch of new friends and I got to break in my new ballroom shoes. We were recently in Montana and I found a shop that sold dancing …

Today is our 17th wedding anniversary! We were married on December 14, 2002. I still remember our entire first dance routine. It was so much fun to learn and our dance teacher, Jim Pounds, was amazing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQrLKZ…

We had a great Thanksgiving day! We took James to the dog park and we had an awesome Thanksgiving buffet dinner.

I found some cute fabric at Walmart so I made James a new Thanksgiving bandana this year. It has turkeys and pumpkins on it and it says "Gobble" all over it and I thought that was so cute! We are head…

I tried to do a lot of research before we went into Canada with our RV. I wanted to make sure we didn't break any rules. We looked all over the internet and we didn't find any horror stories, thankfully! We planned plenty of time just in ca…

We get a lot of people asking us about J's dog boots. He has two sets of boots from Ruffwear: a winter set and a summer set. James tends to get snow packed in between his pads in the winter. He will just stop walking and lift up a foot and …

We are having fun learning all about apples in Canada! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M51j-FH_YW8

The apples here in Oyama, British Columbia are ripe and are being picked off the trees. It is fun to walk around the orchard with James and watch. I was talking to these apple pickers and they were saying hello to James. The man took an app…

We are staying on an apple orchard in British Columbia and the apples are at their peak. All over this area of BC we are seeing orchards in full swing with crates, trucks and people picking apples. Our view looks out over the mountains, the…

It is so crazy that the water in British Columbia (and in Banff over in Alberta, too) is all this beautiful color of turquoise blue green. I feel like I am constantly saying "Wow!" and the beautiful lakes just keep going by as we drive. Not…

Downtown Kelowna British Columbia has a beautiful park that runs along Okanagan Lake. The park is dog friendly, too! There is a beach (but it was a little too chilly and overcast so no one was on the beach) and a manmade lake in the middle …

We are heading back into British Columbia, Canada. We love taking back roads when possible and the back roads here are so beautiful. The forests are so thick! And we really aren't seeing a lot of othe…

Going to Lake Louise in Banff has been on our bucket list for YEARS. We had started to plan a trip back in 2013 and then moving to Washington, DC put that trip on the back burner. So this year we finally went! The whole area around Banff Na…

Yesterday we posted a video about Bulk Barn in Canada and Sandra decided to taste test the dark chocolate coconut almonds. https://youtu.be/dHFaMVIhZsM

While we were in Alberta, we saw a store called Bulk Barn. We were thinking it was maybe like a Costco - where you buy items like paper towels in bulk. But the store was pretty small (compared to a Costco) so that couldn't be it. We were su…
