Sometimes you just need a break from city life! I’m sure many of you can agree.
Our escape from the city is Taboo Resort in Muskoka. It’s about one and a half hours north of Toronto, near Bracebridge. Taboo Resort is a beautiful resort in the winter (also in the summer).

Sant Pere de Rodes Monastery
Sant Pere de Rodes Monastery is in northeastern Catalonia. It is one of the more scenic places I’ve been to before. I found out about this location from the travel bloggers I follow on twitter. If you happen to be in this region you have to make a stop at this Monastery. It is in the region of Cap de Creus National Park, providing lots of opportunities for other day trips as well.Below are a few pictures that illustrate the beauty of the monastery and the area.

St Vitus Cathedral
Prague Castle is the Castle located on the hill. It is close to the city centre and a must visit if you are staying in Prague.

I love all things medieval, maybe it is an appreciation for the buildings and craftsmanship of that time. Have a look at this door we found within the castle, could we find something so unique in this day and age?!?! Continue reading
Our winter fun cross-country skiing was at Scenic Caves in Blue Mountains, Ontario. Nature is beautiful. The snow softly covers the dense forest and creates this wonderful picturesque scenery.
Winter is back again! The best way to enjoy the winter is to find some fun activities. Winter fun started with snowshoeing in Muskoka. Muskoka is cottage country in Ontario, it’s beautiful in both summer and winter.

My (Charlene) favourite nature moment of 2013…
Hiking in Zion National Park “The Narrows”
Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year. There is so much to do and everything is decorated so nicely.
The Distillery District
The City of Bath
About 2.5 hours west of London England is a city called Bath. It is also a Unesco World Heritage Site. As with most things in England, the city is old and has lots of history behind it. The city was established to be a spa/”Bath” for the Romans many years ago. I only realized once I got there that this was how the city got its name. There were many pubs with very good deals throughout the day Continue reading
I love Christmas!
This is my favourite time of year. I love the decorations, I love the Christmas music and movies, and I love visiting family and friends. It is a great time of year, lots of love.
Many years ago, I received my first Santa Claus decoration from my Mother. Each year I am given a new Santa Claus. In the picture below you can see just a few from my collection.
