Our Airbnb was a quick five-minute drive to the gardens, so it made for a nice full day for us. We walked the entire garden, and we were impressed with the different flowers and trees. While walking through the Japanese garden, it started to rain a little, and we pressed on to the end. We… Read More Day 3: Let’s go to the Garden
This is our AirBnB and the Double Dutch Farm where we will stay until Wednesday. It’s a large fifth-wheel trailer that has everything we need. The only downside is that it only has local stations on the TV, so it’s all reruns of old TV shows, so we set up the tripod on the table… Read More Day 2: Our Air BnB
After we arrived in Canada, we found a parking spot where we could charge the car for free. We then started to walk around and explore the area and Parliament. Parliament was closed and under construction so we were not able to go inside and check it out. We continued to walk around the harbour… Read More Day 2: Victoria Harbour
We had to be at the ferry by 7:00 am, so we didn’t have breakfast or coffee at the hotel and waited to board the ship. Once parked on the ship, we headed upstairs to grab breakfast, a blueberry muffin, a sausage sandwich, and coffee and tea. The 90-minute ride was fun, we walked outside… Read More Day 2: Feery ride to Victoria

This week I rediscovered the bag that I had placed them in and thought I sure create a pin board or at least take photos of them. I’m sure someday they will be worth something… Read More Our pin collection
After our trip to Banff where we wished we had our bikes, we bought the Rad Expand folding bike during the winter while they were on sale. Today we finally had the chance, and warmer weather to test them out. They are fantastic! Very light, easy to fold and carry and fast. After testing it… Read More Our newest bike
For a few days now Castor and I have been feeling very thirsty all the time. We thought it may be the turmeric we were taking daily, so we stopped. Things got a little better but we noticed that Castor had lost some weight, and was still drinking a lot of water and urinating. He… Read More Diabetes
Over the past two weeks, we have upped our shoe game and bought six new sets. We found a fantastic boot from Timberland that is very roomie and comfortable that we can use for hiking, bike riding and even to work. We bought gray and navy shoes and an active boot from NorthFace. We are… Read More We like shoes
First ride of the year! We brought out the RadRovers and hit the trail for a ride today. In about a month we are heading to Victoria, BC for a bike-riding vacation around the area, so we wanted to get our bodies and our butts in shape. It was much colder than we thought it… Read More 35-mile bikeride
