Exploring Montebello while staying at Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello

Fairmont le Chateau Montebello
After a fun educational visit to the Canadian National History Museum and admiring the beautiful horticulture exhibit at MosaïCanada, we checked in at Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello, the world's largest log castle! We love the architectural design of this resort. Everyone in our family had a pleasant stay, and found the atmosphere at the resort relaxing. We also enjoyed a variety of different sports and hiking.

The Canadian Museum of History with its dramatic, curved lines designed by Canadian Aboriginal architect Douglas Cardinal is considered one of the most striking architectural masterpieces of the 20th century. This museum is a wealth of knowledge, as it presents the national narrative of the history of Canada and its people.

Books that encourage Painting and Drawing

We have been using several art books during the past few months to practice our art skills, and make it a routine to do drawings and paintings. We find that this helps us to be more mindful and appreciate nature.

We chose to stay at the Cardinal, Ottawa South KOA during our road trip from Toronto towards Ottawa, Outaouais, and the Laurentians. Staying at the KOA deluxe cabin made it comfortable to relax, play, and make our meals leisurely before heading further into our trip. We love that the KOA locations are close to the highway making it easy to stay and explore the area.

Marinated Meat to take when camping and Corn recipe

In the summer, we like to do camping, and I find it requires quite a bit of planning prior to the trip from what food to pack, minimum number of clothes to take, and fun things to do while there.

STEAM education encouraging kits from Twiggle Toys

I love the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) education approach, as this method encourages children to have fun while they develop age appropriate essential skills needed for lifelong learning. Since our children were babies, we have always been enthusiastic about hands-on-learning. We have used creative approaches, everyday materials, kits and tools to further their knowledge.
