Wild Wing located at 107 Church St in Toronto
July 3, 2018: I was feeling for some meaty protein so as we were at Wild Wing, I ordered the Rib Combo. It was a Tuesday and they actually had a really great deal where you get half price off an order of wings if you order any beverage. I would have ordered that if I exclusively wanted wings, which is actually what Ken did. It really was a great deal Continue reading

A second weekend stay in Port Hope, Ontario
June 30- July 1, 2018: I had the best time this Canada Day long weekend in Port Hope! This trip was generously sponsored by the Municipality of Port Hope.
First of all, I want to share that every year in April, Port Hope hosts an event that commemorates the great flood of 1980 that ran through the small town. Float Your Fanny Down the Ganny Continue reading
Laveanne Lavender Fields located at 8667 Gilmour Rd in Campbellcroft, Ontario
July 1, 2018: After having breakfast in Downtown Port Hope, we headed north back up near the Ganaraska Forest Centre to check out the Lavaenne lavender fields. I didn’t even know that there were lavender fields! It is always a pleasure to check out local and unknown spots and Laveanne is definitely a not-as-known spot yet for lavender fields.

The Social Bar and Table located at 26 Ontario St in Port Hope
June 30, 2018: Reservations for our dinner had been made at the Social Bar and Table. We actually had dined at the Social Bar and Table for lunch before on one of our first visits out to Port Hope to see the salmon migration. I remembered the lovely Classic Burger we shared with a helping of their French fries with a creamy dip. Continue reading
Haute Goat located at 1166 5th line in Newtonville
June 30, 2018: The last time when we visited Port Hope in March, we headed to Haute Goat for their famous Haute Goat Shurmgle (going on walk with goats and getting up, close, and personal with them for hugs). This time, we were fitted with a healthy farm fresh lunch and a session of Goat Yoga at Haute Goat! 🙂
Haute Goat is a farm Continue reading

I had done treetop trekking in the past and at their Stouffville location in fact! Continue reading
Khao San Road located at 11 Charlotte St in Toronto
June 29, 2018: I had dined at the original location of Khao San Road a few years ago but this was my first time dining here at the new location since they moved. This new location on Charlotte Street was so discreet to me that I probably wouldn’t have known that it housed the popular Thai restaurant Khao San Road if I was just walking by on my own.
