101 in 1001: Update #2

I haven't checked in with my 101 in 1001 since my February Update and I'm ashamed to say that I've only crossed a few more items off my list since then. Thankfully, it involves some of my more ambitious goals, but I still need to make some headway on all the smaller items soon so this doesn't sneak up on me.

mischief managed!

a year away, a year back

 I wasn't planning to post anything today, but then I realized that I had too because today is one of those milestone days that shouldn't be overlooked. What's so special about today you ask? 

French Canada on a Budget

I wanted to do one last share from our trip to French Canada...our Budget. Because visiting chateaus and eating gourmet meals is the kind of thing a girl could get used too, within reason of course. 

zip-lining montmorency waterfall

If you know me, then you understand that I will never pass up a chance to chase a good waterfall. While were visiting Quebec City, we had the opportunity to visit Canada's tallest waterfall, which we definitely made good on. 

After all the crazy adventures at Niagara Falls (aka a helicopter ride from above), it only seemed fitting that we also have an epic adventure at Montmorency Falls with a chance to explore and zip-line right along-side the falls. I've chased a lot of waterfalls in my day, but this experience was definitely the most unique one. 

life lately :: juggling july

I can't think of any better way to describe July than as a juggling act. Looking back on this month, it seems as if it lasted forever and went by too fast all at once. Didn't end things on the best note with getting sick at the end of the month (probably from a lack of sleep leading to a weakened immune system), but overall, July was one for the books.

a rainy walk to remember

Right when we arrived in Quebec City, we got the best views of the city on our drive in because the Promenade de Samuel-de-Champlain surrounds and passes all through Quebec. 

We knew we had to walk this pretty promenade before we left town. So even though it was pouring rain off and on, mostly on, we put in all the miles.
