Quite a while ago we decided to go to Edmonton for our Wedding Anniversary. When we were in Yellowknife we always use to come down to Edmonton for our Anniversary weekend to celebrate and do some shopping, so we thought this year we would do the same. This was planned before our unexpected trip to [...]

This weekend Ken and I headed to Fort St. John as it was the city’s “High on Ice” festival. The main event of the weekend is various ice carving events. Unfortunately, this year the weather was really nice for people (reaching +7C) but not very nice for ice carving as the warm weather made it [...]
