Our Favourite Places: Kootenay Lake Ferry

Three summers ago, Greg and I crossed Kootenay Lake on a ferry. The mountains, the water, the shore side properties... stunning. I look forward to taking Thomas on a roadtrip in BC and taking that very ferry ride with him some day. Images by Kevin Cappis and Dean Forbes.

Our Favourite Places: Cook St. Helena

A friend recently asked for advice on vacationing in the Napa Valley, which got me thinking about our honeymoon and the many delicious meals we enjoyed during that time. I found myself recalling the most casual and affordable lunch we enjoyed on those first blissful days of marriage - sharing a platter of antipasti at Cook St. Helena complete with salumi, roasted garlic, percorino, olives and crostini. Sometimes it's these simple meals that leave a lasting impression. Images via Magourty and Wander and Whimsy.

Our Favourite Places: Rocket Bakery & Fresh Food

Our favourite place in St. John's for a casual lunch and chat? The Rocket! We fit in at least one meal a week at this bakery. Images by Lisa Moffat and Matt Jiggins.

A way to share our favourite places (shops, restaurants, hangouts, vacation spots etc.), I'll be posting images of the locations where we make (and have made) our favourite memories occasionally here on Horizontal Stripes.
