Friday is many photos day here on the blog, prepared? Lol This last weekend we decided to pick up the whole family and meet with friends Carol and Luciano for two days of relaxation. We chose the small town of Gananoque-ON, since it was “almost” that in the middle of the road, are 161 km from home and 309 km from Mississauga, where they live. Gananoque is a small town on the edge of the Saint Lawrence River with approximately 5,200 inhabitants and is a great access point to the Thousand Islands (1000 Islands), the region’s major tourist spot. The city is close to Kingston, also known as the gate…

To make the most of our short trip to the Toronto area, we managed to find some time and visit the newly opened aquarium in downtown Toronto. As you can see in the first photo, it's not hard to find the newest attraction in Canada's largest city: right at the foot of Toronto's biggest symbol, the CN Tower. The Ripley's Aquarium of Canada opened to the public about 2 1/2 months ago on October 16, 2014. We've heard stories that since then the place is always full of long lines and crowds, so we prefer to buy the ticket online and leave it to go later. And although the entrance…

These days we went to do our seasonal tour to Gatineau Park and for sure, it's the time that the park gets more beautiful in my opinion! Fact is, you can't help but enjoy some autumn before he's gone. This time, we decided to visit the Mackenzie King Estate, which is inside the park, in the so-called Gatineau Hills. The place was home to the 10th Canadian Prime Minister, William Lyon Mackenzie King, who was the head of government for more than 50 years. There is the preserved heritage, including a museum where it was the house, hiking trails, gardens, picturesque ruins and the exuberant nature itself. Attention – >…

I wanted to first thank you for the comments and congratulations on the post of 5 years! Thank you guys!! You guys who deserve the congratulations of holding me all these years, talking nonsense here on the blog … Hehehe We were in Mont Tremblant for the first time in mid-June with visits from Brazil, Adriana and Taís (Diego’s sister and cousin, respectively). We’d talked about jumping there a million times, but i never got a good shot.  Of course, our idea was to go in the winter, but we heard that it was quite interesting to go in the summer too, so there we went. We decided to stay…

– We continue to paint (and embroider) in the basement. There are still some walls and touches in the painting as well as the baby's room, which just came out of the crate to reality.  *Liana – explain your basement questions in the next related post, ok?! – We went to another Cirque du Soleil show. We watched Quidam in Ottawa even on the last day 26. Amazing how they manage to do shows so different from each other. This was with more ground numbers and a lot of clowning. Very cool too! – Toronto: On the Canada Day holiday, we escaped from the capital (and the royal couple) and…

Again, Loved the comments! It’s been a long time since there were so many in one post! Thanks!! Well, I’m not going to deny that the photos really looked beautiful, but it’s all the fault of this Canada full of beautiful places… Hehehe. Also on Sunday night, Diego’s aniver, we went for a walking tour of downtown Jasper. Jasper, as I commented in the previous post, is a small town and I will not deny that it does not have the same charm as Banff. We noticed that it was the place with the most souvenir shops we’ve visited, it had more than one per block, and we lost count…
