Day-tripping in Nova Scotia - Joggins Fossil Cliffs
The Joggins Fossil Cliffs are located in Joggins, Nova Scotia, at 100 Main Street. This is a great day trip from Moncton, NB at just over one hour's drive. We spent hours on the beach after exploring the interpretive centre. (more…)
In April, Doug, Clayton and I spent a night in Halifax and used our time exploring downtown. We have been to Halifax many times as a family, staying in Dartmouth, Bedford and Bayer's Lake areas. This trip we stayed at the Halifax Marriott Harbourfront. (more…)
As part of our Halifax weekend getaway in April, we visited the Discovery Centre for the first time in it's new location. WOW!!
"The Discovery Centre is a not-for-profit registered charitable organization whose mission is to bring STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) to life through fun, interactive learning experiences." ~ thediscoverycentre.ca (more…)
Visiting the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, Halifax NS
The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic is a regular stop for us when visiting Halifax, NS. I can't count how many times we have visited, and each time we all have a good time reading, watching, playing and exploring. (more…)
Discover NB Beaches - Herring Cove Beach
Herring Cove Beach is another Fundy National Park beach that we visit yearly. Over the years it has remained a popular beach with access from two trails.
One of my favourite spots in Fundy National Park is Point Wolf Beach.
Just before crossing the Point Wolf covered bridge, be sure to stop at the Red Chairs and enjoy the view.
FUN FACT: There are 60 covered bridges in New Brunswick. This one was built in 1992 and is 29m long. (more…)
For the past 4 summers we have been doing many day trips from our home in Moncton, NB. With two children that are almost 10 years apart in age, we have tried to find adventures that are interesting for both boys. While some trips have been the entire family, many have been just myself and the kids, while hubby is working. Keeping this in mind, many of the day trips are doable with one adult and a couple children. (more…)
This beach is such a lovely spot for a relaxing stroll, exploring with the kids, a picnic lunch or just to stop and soak up the fresh sea air.
Last summer the Fundy Trail Pathway extended their car route further along the Fundy coastline to Tuft's Point. You enter the park after passing through St. Martin's NB, and you can read more about the park itself, here in our day tripping feature.
We went twice last summer, the first trip was just Clayton and I. We had such an awesome time that only a few weeks later we went back with the whole family, including my mom. (more…)

This past weekend my husband, Doug, and I managed to go out for a date. Other than work related night's out, I can not remember the last time the two of us actually went out without the children. In the past we have always relied on family to babysit, but our oldest is perfectly capable to babysit now, so we decided it was time to have an evening together, out of the house, and away from the kiddos!

Our Weekend Wanderings took us to Charlottetown, PEI, in late February. We packed up the car with our family of 4, and were on the road to the Jack Frost Children's Winterfest. Only a few hours from Moncton, this was the perfect weekend adventure. For this particular adventure, we left Moncton around noon on Friday, and arrived back home Sunday at suppertime. Our VIP Package included hotel stay for 2 nights, welcome bag for the kids upon arrival, snacks each night (if you are at the hotel at the time), breakfast with various kids show characters and early access to the sites each day.
