On our most recent trip to Sin City, we actually didn’t gamble a single penny. Imagine that! Who would have thought? The city of slot machines and card tables didn’t see any of our hard earned cash. That said, we did a lot of other fun stuff.

During our recent trip to Japan, we stayed a few nights at the Disneyland Hotel. It’s a very nice hotel, but we got a bit overwhelmed with the whole Disney theme and were in need for Japanese culture. A quick Google Maps search of what was nearby revealed a place called Bonsai Museum.

Despite the word SUN in its name, SNOW is the reason to go there. It’s a ski and snowboard resort, after all. And with so many places in British Columbia to enjoy the slopes, we had no expectations when going there. Having been to Whistler and Big White multiple times, what else could there...
