2015: Where we went, what we did
As 2015 draws to a close, it's time to post a round-up of my favourite experiences from the year (you can see last year's round-up here). We did a fair bit of travelling in 2015, so it was fun to look back at my photos and collect a few here – what a year!
We had a great visit with one of my best friends during a surprisingly snowy weekend in late March. Our snowshoe through Hemlock Ravine Park is one of my favourite memories from her visit.
In June, I spent a solo weekend in gorgeous Nice, France, followed by a week-long conference in the Côte d'Azur. It was an unexpected trip, and one I still can't believe I got to take. It always makes me smile when I think about how stiff my legs were each morning from all the walking I did around Nice.
We spent a week enjoying the cottage life in our beautiful province, which included hikes around Five Islands Provincial Park and Thomas' Cove, a visit to That Dutchman's Cheese Farm, searching for dinosaur fossils at Wasson Bluff , and way too many ice cream cones at Masstown Market.
In August, we made our annual trek to Massachusetts to visit family and friends. From there, we took the train to NYC, where we rented an apartment and hung out in Brooklyn's Greenpoint neighbourhood for a few days while Adam spent some time working with a local producer.
From Brooklyn, we flew to Wisconsin to visit my father. He and his wife showed us a great time, including day trips to Bookworm Gardens and Lambeau Field, and even a swim in Lake Michigan.
We ended our trip with a visit to Chicago, one of my bucket list cities. We had a great time and packed a lot into our short visit, especially with a three year-old in tow. Adam and I would love to come back someday – adults-only – to see more of the city and experience some nightlife.
Speaking of adults-only, we ended our summer with a trip to Prince Edward Island to see one of Adam's bandmates get married. After a busy summer, it was nice to get some 'us time' – and sleep in, of course 
Last month I spent a couple of days in Ottawa for work, and arrived early so I could visit one of my best friends and her family, including meeting her new baby and seeing her beautiful home for the first time. We've been friends since elementary school and I love that we can go months without seeing one another and immediately pick up where we left off.
Phew! We experienced a lot in 2015, and I'm excited to find out what 2016 has in store. I've already booked a flight for a girls trip to San Francisco – another bucket list city – and I can't wait to start planning a few adventures for the whole family!
