Today we went on more epic laundry adventures than normal – we went all the way to Port Hope, with my actual destination being a local curiosity called Toe Beans Cafe where they have a great little “cat room” to socialize with some fuzzy felines. My favourite was most likely a resident Maine Coon named […]

Toronto on the Train
Today we did a semi nostalgic trip, driving to Oshawa to intentionally board the Go Train – we actually haven’t done this since we bought our Hyundai Santa Fe many years ago. This trip was a rare journey to downtown TO with virtually no destination in mind. Probably my favourite part of the trip was […]
Bumbling through the backwoods
Today’s fun was more tame than recent weekends, with a little trip out to Norwood and county road 45, mostly Amy’s idea, but a super fun time overall. We stopped for a surprisingly delicious dinner at a little place called the Banjo Grill. It’s a weird, shack-looking location across the bridge, but it’s actually lovely […]
Saturday Bowling Bonanza
Today we went on a trip westward with the ultimate goal of me winning at bowling at far-away Bingeman’s in Kitchener. Of course I won (one out of four games because we ran out of time haha) We took the backroads through Port Perry onward through Newmarket, then started heading south to Caledon and someone […]
Big Adventures on Saturday
Today we went on a pretty huge road trip, about 880 km to be semi-accurate – basically starting from home, going to the outskirts of Montreal and then back via the backroads. We didn’t really do anything major in any of the places we visited, we mostly wanted to see some different roads and drivers […]
Busy weekend adventures and productivity fun
Yesterday we had all sorts of activities going on, from a dentist appointment right off, to a rush trip to Kingston to meet with some venue owners for a future event, to getting lost in the city, then taking the backroads home. We missed most of the rain thankfully, but Amy got some of the […]
A day of out of townish adventure
We had a long car trip with the doggo today, basically going in a crazy loop west, then north, then east, then more north, then back southeast, then home. Some sunshine and waterfront coziness, and a little inevitable drama caused by lots of time in an enclosed space, but an overall good time. We’ve been […]
Roast beast and Walmart trip on Labour-day-eve
The missus and I had an expensive but necessary trip to Walmart – not the local one mind you, we went all the way to Cobourg for the adventure of it. It was rainy and messy, but we had fun, and got some new shirts, some much needed, extra-light shoes, and some semi-local wild blueberries. […]
Whirlwind camping trip to Ferris Provincial Park
This past weekend we enjoyed some time away from the grind at Ferris Provincial Park in Campbellford Ontario. It’s a wee little park with some lovely, leg-working trails that go all over. Our last couple of camping trips have ended on less fun notes, but we managed to go the whole weekend without family tragedy […]
