Trip to Riviera Maya | Playa del Carmen | Mexico
In this post we will talk about our trip to Riviera Maya, more precisely Playa del Carmen. We decided to use March break to do as several Canadians do and escape the never-ending winter. After doing a lot of research, we found a good package to Mexico. The only drawback was that the flight left from Montreal, and not Ottawa. The flight left really early on Sunday. To make things easier, we booked a hotel near the airport with free shuttle, and drove to Montreal on Saturday. For that, we used Park, Sleep & Fly, which combined the hotel night, plus we could leave the car parked in their property…

Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa
Science and Technology Museum – Ottawa Now in early December we decided to check out the newly reopened museum in Ottawa, the Canada Science and Technology Museum. We had already made a brief visit there, a few years before the renovation (in 2013) – see some photos here. The area on the outside is not fully ready, after all, the museum was re-opened to the public only 2 weeks ago, but inside, everything seemed to be in place. Some of the museum's attractions have been reused and others are unheard of. On Saturday, when we went, it was very crowded, with many families. I think it's very interesting to visit…

MosaïCanada 150 | Gatineau Tourism
A few weekends ago we visited another attraction specially assembled in celebration of Canada’s 150th anniversary. It was a beautiful day and to coincide with another attraction that was going on the same day, La Machine, was crowded, both Ottawa and Gatineau. The MosaïCanada 150 (see more information on the website here) is in Gatineau, jacques-cartier park, on the border with Ontario, on the banks of the Ottawa River, and close to the Canadian Museum of History, is this beautiful exhibition of natural plant sculptures, addressing various historical aspects of Canadian culture. The exhibition has free admission (you can take a guided tour for $10 per adult), there is only…

Disney World Hollywood Studios
The Hollywood Studios was for the longest time the weakest park at Disney. The attractions were a bit dated, and therefore the least visited one. That will likely change with the additions of the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and Toy Story Land areas. The girls loved the Disney Junior characters, including Sophia, Doc Mcstuffins and Jake. Pluto was also a hit with everyone in the family, and BB8 was the cutest of them all. 🙂 The weather was really hot that day. We can still enjoy some shows, too. Frozen’s, called For the First Time in Forever: a Frozen Sing-Along, where Diego and I laughed a lot at the presenters…
