I have been researching the Almaguin Highlands and Huntsville area to show the tourists that this area has so much to offer. I have three kids and I am always looking for different things for my whole family to enjoy. It seems like every weekend in the north there is something going on for everyone to enjoy.

I hope that everyone reading my blogs can come out some day and check these events out. We used to live in the City of Toronto and since we have moved here 9 years ago we have discovered so many fun things to do.

We went to Downtown Huntsville on the Car Show weekend so our kids could enjoy the beautiful new playground offered in the downtown area near the river. We enjoy listening to the band and taking advantage of the beautiful day. I took a picture of my mom and my daughter in front of the Algonquin Theatre in the downtown area.

Stay at a nearby Cottage Resort and have a great vacation
