BlackRock Resort Review
There are lots of small motel/hotel options in Ucluelet, but there is only one Black Rock Resort. When we were looking for a place to call our temporary home on Island for our trip, we needed something that was pet friendly, and we wanted Oceanfront. Well, Black Rock did not disappoint! For pet friendly options,Continue reading “BlackRock Resort Review”
Tofino to Go!

I had been hoping to see more artisan market style shopping or little hand crafted shops like weContinue reading “Tofino to Go!”

Goodbye Sweet Boy
When we brought Riley to us, we thought we may have only a few months to a year with him if we were lucky. We didn’t. We had more. We had 2.5 years with this bundle of fur! We hiked more. We played more. We laughed more. We did more. We loved more. This wonderfulContinue reading “Goodbye Sweet Boy”
