My fall visit to Pingles Farm Market continues!

September 24, 2016September 25, 2016LocalizedFall, pingles14 Comments

This Saturday, I made my way over to Pingles Farm Market – my first visit this autumn.

It’s no secret, fall is my favourite season! I love the clothing, the cooler temperatures and the beautiful colours. As per usual (2015, 2014), I lugged the chalk board over for the annual photo opt. This year, it sported a “Legend of Sleepy Hollow” theme.

If you’re passing through the area, stop by. Pingles Farm Market features pumpkins galore, a corn maze and fresh home-baked treats.

A lovely afternoon to welcome the most charming season of all.

Cobourg Beach

With the temperatures still barley hovering in the double digits, we decided to visit Cobourg Beach – which is located about two hours east of Toronto. The beach was quiet, only a few other people in sight. I decided to still wear flip-flops because the sun was warm all day.

In the peak of the summer, hundreds, if not thousands, of people pack Victoria Park – usually sunbathing, building sandcastles and splashing in the water. It was relaxing to spend time in the silence, though. We had a chance to fly the chopper, listen to the chirping of the birds, and we also met some really cool locals along the way.

Goodnight from Cobourg! Click here for more information.

Durham Flight Centre

There’s nothing quite like flying, and if you’re looking to explore the skies from up high, Durham Flight Centre offers sightseeing tours for $210 for three people (not bad once you divide up the costs).

To get a taste of what the tour offers, Durham Flight Centre took us up in a Cessna 172 aircraft, to Port Perry, Lake Scugog, and back to Oshawa. We couldn’t have asked for better weather: minimal winds, and excellent visibly. Our pilot, Spencer, even let Scott fly for a bit!

The Cessna 172 was first introduced in the 1950’s, and can travel up to about 240 km/hour. For our tour, we glided at about 2,500 feet.

Overall, Durham Flight Centre will give you the best bang for you buck when booking a sightseeing tour. I had researched a number of other options before choosing them. Other areas you can choose from when booking your tour include: Toronto waterfront/downtown, Niagara Falls, Kawartha Lakes, and Prince Edward County. Click here for more information.

Piggy Backing at Greenwood Park Ajax

March 28, 2016March 28, 2016Little Things, Localized28 Comments

It’s the last week of March, and this past weekend we enjoyed some well-above average temperatures. At one point, we hit 17.5C! Definitely spring-like weather.

To end off the Easter long weekend, we strolled through my favourite Durham Region park: Greenwood Park in Ajax. It was quiet, and golden and green.

And here we are, piggy backing into the sun! 🙂

Welcome, Spring!

“The first real day of spring is like the first time a boy holds your hand. A flood of skin-tingling warmth consumes you, and everything shines with a fresh, colorful glow, making you forget that anything as cold and harsh as winter ever existed.” —Richelle E. Goodrich

Spring officially arrived at 11:30 p.m. EST, Saturday. Oh, how I am excited for new beginnings and jean jackets.
