When it comes to family travel, I truly believe in exploring where we are from. We love day trips, weekend adventures, and exploring New Brunswick.
We are sharing mainly our family travel of weekend wanderings, day trips within 2-3 hours of Moncton, New Brunswick (where we are from), and some longer adventures we have had in Atlantic Canada.
Any other travel will be shared in the appropriate categories.
