Wilderness

Location: Cochrane, Alberta

I am finally catching up on some pictures from a few weeks ago now! I can't believe all the Christmas and New Year festivities are over! I have a feeling that this year is going to fly by as well! Anyway here are some pictures from one of my daily adventures.

I spent the most relaxing day with these beautiful creatures on a family friends anchorage in Cochrane. I played in the snow for a while, feeding the horses and running around with the dogs. The rest of my afternoon was spent warming up by the fire and making caramel popcorn to get in a festive mood.  

Christmas and New Years was spent back in the Invermere area and now I am about to meet my parents and sister in LA, New York and Washington. So many more photos to come from those adventures!

Panorama Mountain Village

Location: Panorama Mountain Village, British Columbia

Finally catching up on some Canada pictures! Just taking a stroll around the bottom of the village around our little cabin. Luckily it wasn't that cold on this day, only -15 degree celsius instead of the previous -28! However I didn't last very long mostly due to remembering that there is a lurking coyote wandering around and my toes started freezing off after a while! Fortunately the only wildlife I did come across was a few little squirrels scurrying around a tree. They were so fast but they did stay still for a few seconds so I could take a few snaps! Also these pictures do not do this amazing place justice! It's breathtaking! 

Merry Christmas everyone! 

Orlando, Florida Instagram Diary

Location: Orlando, Florida

I know this is a little late but this is just a few pictures from the happiest place on earth and other adventures in Florida. Of course one of my favourite days was pondering the Magical World of Harry Potter, drinking butterbeer, buying candy from Honeydukes and exploring Ollivanders! I also cannot forget to mention the hibashi style dinner we had in Japan at Epcot because it was probably the best Japanese I have ever had!

Washington DC Photo Diary

Location: Washington DC

This is an extremely late photo diary of mine and Lauren's trip to Washington DC, but I thought I would share a few things we did. We spent seven days in DC, and I can tell you that if you wanted to see everything, that many days is not enough! There are so many Smithsonian Museums and historical landmarks that we unfortunately didn't get around to seeing everything on my long, extensive to do list! However, a trip there next month may be on the agenda! 

We decided that Georgetown would be our first stop and that was of course the best option! The main street in Georgetown is called M Street where we discovered the main shopping area. As if we didn't do enough shopping in New York! We also uncovered three cupcake places, which of course we had to explore! Baked and Wired is a must if your like us and love giant cupcakes! Sprinkles Cupcakes have some really good flavours and Georgetown Cupcakes just because your in Georgetown.

The subway looks like something from out of space but a pretty simple system to figure out. The Whitehouse was also a must because the President lives there of course. 

To sum up the District of Columbia, I'd say it's an educational experience which I plan to go back to because I am a bit of a history nerd. That and they have good cupcakes!
