A Visit to the Anderson’s Sunflower Farm
Just last week I made a visit to the Anderson’s Sunflower Farm. Typically, whenever I have more than a couple of days off of work. I like to spend it traveling. I had big plans for this summer. But as is par for the course this year, things didn’t go as planned. So, I decided to be a tourist at home and find some fun local things to do. I first learned about The Anderson’s Sunflower Farm last summer, but the timing didn’t work out, and I wasn’t able to visit. This year when I saw their Facebook post announcing the beginning of the very brief sunflower season I decided…

OMG, there is no other way to describe Puerto Vallarta other than A-MAZING! It’s perfectly situated between majestic mountains, beautiful blue skies, deep aqua seas, and sandy beaches. No matter what terrain your heart desires, you can find it here. With picture perfect views if I may add. My friends and I stumbled upon this location out of pure luck to be honest.

Wine Country A couple of years back I visited Ontario for the first time and attended Taste the Season, a food and wine event that features wineries from the Niagara-on-the-Lake region. Prior to this trip I had no idea that Niagara was actually wine country. I’d never traveled to Canada and had no idea what to expect. Nevertheless, I instantly fell in love with the charm and romance of this most beautiful place, as well as the warmth and friendliness of it’s people. I brought back with me a new found appreciation for good wine, some great memories, as well as a few bottles of wine to enjoy when I…
