For one of our last days on the island we went along the North Cape Coastal Drive and stopped a few times along the way to check out some lighthouses, beaches, and of course the Stompin' Tom Centre. We went to the top of the West Point Lighthouse which was a lot of steep steps up, but was so cool at the top! After that, we drove up to North Cape and had lunch there, then walked along the rocky beach before heading back home. Being in P.E.I. is always so much fun, it's such a beautiful place and I love seeing family there. I've done a lot of driving this summer, but this Coastal Drive is one that I would do again and again. I love seeing the red dirt and the lighthouses, and it's ... read more

On one of our first days on Prince Edward Island we had a big family reunion with 70 of our relatives. My dad grew up in Summerside so we go back there a lot to visit our grandparents and some of his family. He organized a deep sea fishing trip for any of the family that wanted to come a few days later. Most of what we caught was mackerel which didn't taste very good, but we got a few cod as well. They also brought up a lobster trap on board to show us how they're caught and they let us hold the lobsters too. On the way back from fishing we were allowed to take turns steering the boat. Luckily no one got sea sick while I was driving! After fishing, we went into North Rustico to walk along ... read more

About a week and a half ago I left Edmonton with my dad and my dog and set out for P.E.I. We drove across the country for 5 days and have been here for a week now. We stopped in Ottawa on one of the days to give Turner some exercise in the river and then took him downtown with us to visit Parliament Hill. He was a bit nervous being somewhere so busy, but he was so well behaved! I think he thought he might run into Justin ;) We're at a cottage on the island now with my entire family. We had a family reunion last weekend and have just been relaxing since then. Driving down here was a lot of fun, but I'm happy that I'll be flying back on my way home! ... read more

Our last day in Iceland!! We booked our Blue Lagoon experience for the day that we were flying home and gave ourselves enough time to relax and swim before heading to the airport. The pool is bigger than I expected, but even at 8 a.m. there are already a lot of people there. Everyone there was walking around with these silica masks that you get included in admission. We tried them out too, but I don't think they really did anything for the softness of my skin! There's a little bar in the pool where you can buy drinks and other little things. Frances and I both got a blue slush which was really yummy (I think I drank most of hers too!). Everything you buy there is tracked by these bracelets ... read more

For our last few days in Iceland Frances and I moved to a new hotel in Reykjavik. Our first day in the city we went on a whale watching tour. Unfortunately we saw zero whales in the 3 hours we were on board, but we did see a few puffins! We also got to wear these great onesie boat suits that kept us very warm. After the tour we went to an outdoor heated swimming pool which was really fun. I would highly recommend that to anyone travelling to Reykjavik! Our second day in Reykjavik we spent walking around Laugevegur street. We went up to Hallgrímskirkja and took the elevator up to the top where you can look out on the city. There are so many cute colourful houses and buildings you can see, ... read more

When we were staying at Lambafell we spent a day driving out to Geysir and Gullfoss. We had lunch at Geysir and then walked over to see a few of the smaller geysers go off. Afterwards, we drove over to Gullfoss which is the most beautiful waterfall! It's so massive and it would have been so cool to see it without all of the tourists, but it was still amazing! On our way back to the hotel, we stopped at Seljalandsfoss again so that we could do the trail behind the falls. We were wearing our raincoats (thankfully), but still got drenched by the end of the walk. This was our last day at Lambafell and all of the things we did and saw were so cool! I would definitely recommend doing southern ... read more

The Black Sand Beach is such a unique place. The sand is sweet and all of the rocks that shoot out of the water are so cool to see. We picked the windiest day to go and there were already a lot of people there in the morning, but it was still such an amazing place to visit. When we left the beach we pulled over into this field to take some pictures of the purple flowers. We drove through one patch on a different day where there were yellow and purple flowers together, but it was really rainy that day so we didn't get a chance to see them up close. These flowers are all over the place in Iceland and are so much cooler than the dandelions that cover everything at home. ... read more

A few days ago Frances and I drove out to Jökulsárlón to see these ice bergs. It was cold and windy, but so worth it to see. The lagoon is beautiful! We went into the little info place that’s right beside the lagoon to have soup, which was a big help on a cold day. There were boat tours that you could do as well, but I don’t think our raincoats would have kept us warm enough for that! Jökulsárlón is one of the coolest places I’ve been to in Iceland and I would love to come back to it in the winter when the northern lights are out. ... read more

My sister, Frances, and I arrived in Iceland yesterday morning. We barely got any sleep on the plane and had an early morning, but driving around Iceland was so cool! The terrain changes so quickly and we got to see so many waterfalls! On our way to Vík, we stopped at Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss to stretch our legs. Both of the waterfalls were so gorgeous! We also saw another cute one this morning while we were exploring. There are so many of them everywhere! In Vík we walked up to the church there to take some photos. You can see a bit of the black sand beach from there, which we are going back to tomorrow. Vík is such a cool little village and I’m so excited to be staying so close to ... read more

  We played our last show in BC and are now heading east. On our way through Manitoba we stopped in Winnipeg and spent the day exploring the Human Rights Museum as well as the Winnipeg Art Gallery. We continued on to Thunder Bay for a couple more shows and had some free time at Marina Park to walk by the lakefront. ... read more
