healthy food, lifestyle, travel, & everyday moments.
We’re halfway through the work week, which means there are only three days until Christmas. Where has the time (and really, the whole year) gone?!
Yesterday, we took some time away from daily winter life to visit the Minnesota Zoo. It’s one of our favorite spots to visit, especially now that we have little kids. There’s nothing like stepping from the dry, icy wind outside into the warm, lush Tropics Trail.… Read More »
Mount Engadine Lodge, where we stayed for our honeymoon, is famous for their restaurant. For guests, they serve four meals a day: breakfast, a packed lunch, afternoon tea, and a three-course dinner every night. Many non-guests travel over an hour from Calgary for Sunday brunch, tea, and dinner. So we expected the food to be good–we just didn’t know how they’d do with gluten-free food.
Overall? I’d give Mount Engadine 5/5 for the taste/quality of the food and 4/5 stars for gluten-free eaters. The food was fresh, local, and excellent–but we had two small mishaps during our stay. I’ll describe a normal day of meals, then explain the mishaps.… Read More »
We spent last week at the cutest little lodge in Alberta, Canada for our honeymoon! Whilst I was a bad blogger and didn’t remember to take many interior pictures of the lodge–I thought I’d write a bit and share a few pictures since we enjoyed our stay so much.… Read More »
Happy Tuesday! This week has been off to a busy start in the Walker household. I started some new volunteer work and new online classes, while E has been busy at work. And I’m tidying up the apartment after a fun weekend spent camping with my dad.
Instead of simply recapping our trip to St. Croix State Park, today I’m sharing a handy checklist of camping essentials that we definitely could have used whilst packing the car last Friday. In the past couple of years, E and I have camped all over the country. But my experience doesn’t mean that I’m immune to forgetting even the most basic of items!… Read More »
We went camping last weekend for the first time in forever! The last time we camped was on our way out to California in 2017… that feels like a long time ago. So we packed our car on Friday afternoon and drove up to Wild River State Park. It’s northeast of the Twin Cities on the St. Croix River (and the Wisconsin border). Wild River is not the most well-known park in that area, but it’s just as beautiful with the fall foliage IMO.
Is this “travel post” just an excuse to show you gorgeous pictures of autumn in MN and try to convince you to visit? Pretty much. No shame, I love where I live and I love sharing it with you :P… Read More »
