Adventures in the outdoors
Not having a campsite booked for the weekend after the long weekend in July was a little upsetting. There were originally other plans which meant we were not going to be able to camp, but those plans fell through. Since we had no camping was booked, we decided to make a day trip to Algonquin Provincial Park to do some canoeing.
2018 is a big year for me… I’ll be turning 40 later this year, and there are a number of “things” I’ve been wanting to check off my list. This trip was just one part.

This trip was a little different for us. This trip the boys got a head start on celebrating the last day of school along with the first day of summer.

That gave way for plans on having my boys get a night out on their own, and I would join them after work on Friday.
This year I attended the Women on Water Festival that is hosted by Wild Women Expeditions and the Ontario Sea Kayak Center. This event sells out every year, so when I got the news that I was able to solidify a last minute cancellation I was elated. I have heard lots about this festival recently from my friend Christina, and I knew that I would enjoy it. With only a few days to pack and gather my items, I was one busy lady. The festival runs from Friday evening into Sunday afternoon. That means I had to leave right after work to make my 4+ hour drive to Parry Sound. I didn’t care because I was so excited.
