L’Anse Aux Meadows National Historic Site – review

April 18, 2019 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

Is it worth the drive?  That is the decisive question when contemplating a visit to L’Anse Aux Meadows National Historic Site.

Coffee Cove Seaside Retreat Part 2 – What To Do

March 18, 2019 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Mention a road trip to Green Bay and your friends will envision cheeseheads, Packers jerseys, and shotgunning Schlitz faster than a spirit-crushing Favre interception.  Understandable.  But in this case, completely wrong.  Let them have a couple more Schlitz and then tell them you were thinking more along the lines of sou’westers, kissing cod fish, and […]

Pizza Night in Rowley, Alberta – review

August 2, 2016 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

Sams Saloon on Pizza Night

If there’s one thing I’d pinpoint as the worst part of being a stay-at-home parent it has to be the fact that long weekends quickly lose their exceptionality.  Not only do they become meaningless with regard to my daily life, but they all too regularly become completely forgotten.  Such was the case this past August […]
