On this day last year after 8 days on the road and driving over 5700km we were waking up at our final destination of our west to east trek of our across Canada road trip!

Beautiful East Coast Sunrise 🌅

Thanksgiving weekend we went to and it didn't disappoint!

The kids had a blast and LOVED the corn maze!
It was fun walking around and watching the kids pick out their own pumpkins!

Have you been to a pumpkin patch? What's your favourite part?

Life has been differently lately.
It feels like it's...
School drop off, filling time, school pickup, after school activities.
Rinse and repeat.

Now that it's just me and these 2 the majority of the day, it's been fun seeing how they're taking on their new roles as well.. Addy is now the "oldest" and guiding Wilder on our adventures and Wilders just growing up so fast, keeping up right along with her.

Although Noah's loving school, has an amazing teacher and gets outside a ton (something I think is so amazing and helped in the decision in actually signing him up for school) I still feel like a part of me is missing everyday.

I've been quiet on here adjusting and figuring out the new daily dynamic and what to do to fill our days. I miss being creative and making videos, or creating with my hands but at the same time I've been so tired from a new daily schedule that when push comes to shove the IG world tends to be put on pause. But I'm hoping to figure out a way to get back on track with everything. ♥️

Anyway I hope you're doing well! I'm still here, we're still getting outside and going on adventures!

How did you adjust when your first kiddo went to school??

📍San Josef Bay

A short 3.5 hour drive from the Qualicum Area, up to Port Hardy, then another 1.5 hours on an active logging road to the trailhead, then about 2.8km hike through the lush forest to a stunning beach. Then down the beach to some sea stacks. Where you can walk around or continue further down the beach... but be aware you can get cut off by the tide, so tick tock pay attention to your watch... or don't like us, and follow the wooded trail up and around for extra entertainment and some wild s**t. 🤙

*real talk* When I first walked out onto the beach at San Jo I was highly disappointed. You see all these beautiful photos and then you get there and you're like mmmm what, where the heck are these pictures taken? Well ya gotta walk down the beach to find them :) now ya know!

**caution**
When driving on active logging roads be extra careful, and it's suggested to bring a spare tire as there's not much or no service along there.

Also it's known for bears and wolves to be spotted here, so again use your noggin, don't try to pet them cuz they're cute! Definitely don't feed them, and bring your bear spray.

And oh yeah I just added this trail on so it should be on there soon!
