FRIENDSGIVING AT FITZROY HARBOUR // MORRIS ISLAND

 

We spent the weekend at a cottage in Fitzroy Harbour with our camping crew to celebrate Friendsgiving. 

EXPLORE: KING MOUNTAIN TRAIL

 

Ottawa fall weather is always flies by - Kevin and I took a hike at King Mountain Trail in Gatineau Park to see the leaves.

BLOG, YOUTUBE, INSTAGRAM - OH MY!

 So I'm taking my blog to the next level...

CAMPING: LOW, QUEBEC I

 

We had a chilly camping adventure a couple weeks ago at Low, Quebec! This crown land oasis was recommended to us by Terry (Kevin's uncle) and since we've been borrowing his canoe all summer we figured we better go check it out!

EXPLORE: ORNAMENTAL GARDEN

Kessandra and I visited the Ornamental Gardens in the Experimental Farm, and while the sky wasn't so blue the flowers were blooming.

EXPLORE: CALABOGIE // MANITOU MOUNTAIN TRAIL & RED ARROW ROCK LOOKOUT

Last weekend Irwin and I took advantage of some of the gorgeous summer weather Ottawa's been having. We drove an hour to Calabogie to the Manitou Mountain Trail for a day of hiking.

BUTTERFLIES IN FLIGHT

I finally got to go see the beautiful butterfly exhibit at the Nature Museum this weekend. Here are some of my favourite shots!

CLIFFSIDE

Since Sarah's been back in Ottawa we've been trying to find the time to escape away to her family cottage. She invited me out this week and fortunately for me, it's my reading week and I was able to get my shift covered at work so we were able to go. 

EXPLORE: NATURE MUSEUM

Adam and I hit up the Nature Museum a couple of weeks ago during their free Thursday night deal from 5-8pm!

SUNFLOWERS

All summer I captured photos of my most favourite flower around Ottawa. Here are the sunflowers in all their glory.

EXPLORE: PRINCESS LOUISE FALLS

Sarah and I went to explore the Princess Louise Falls this past weekend. We definitely took advantage of the last weekend of summer!

EXPLORE: GATINEAU PARK WOLF TRAIL 62

After checking out the Willson Carbide Ruins, Adam and I kicked off our 8 km long hike. A quick drive from the ruins there's the Wolf Trail 62. 

EXPLORE: WILLSON CARBIDE RUINS

Today Adam and I headed to Gatineau, Quebec to explore the Willson Carbide Mill. Everyone and their dog had been posting pictures of the beautiful ruins there, so I figured it was time to take a gander myself.

PARLIAMENT HILL YOGA

After working 11 days in a row it's finally nice to unwind on the hill with a good friend. 

EXPLORE: NORDIK SPA QUEBEC

This past Thursday evening my roommate and I decided to treat ourselves and check out the Nordik Spa in Quebec for the first time.

I thought I'd share my thoughts on the experience for anyone who is considering going to Nordik.
