La Bonne Vie

La Bonne Vie means "The Good Life." Located in the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City Utah. It is a must visit if you find yourself in the area.

For someone who's ultimate dream would be to own a bakery of her own...well this really is the good life!

Below you will clearly see more reasons why....

Not only do they serve some seriously delicious macarons...they serve all kinds of pastries and gelato and covered strawberries. HERE is a link to everything they serve and all the different delectable flavours of the treats!

 Fun Fact: La Bonne Vie was named "Best Bakery" by Salt Lake magazine in the 2012 Dining Awards.

Oh did I mention that I got to visit the bakery while visiting ms Gentri! We had such a fun week together! Here she is enjoying some seriously tasty hazelnut gelato.

& Here I am enjoying my pistachio macaron which was so good it was hard not to order 10 more...or ....100.

When I like something I REALLY like something!

So if you find yourself in the Salt Lake area pop on over and order up some treats! They even have adorable and beautiful packaging for their treats, which makes it a great gift! That is if you can handle not eating it all on the way to deliver the treat! So probably order for you and your loved ones! And maybe one for me?!

Exit Glacier

One of my favorite spots in Alaska was Seward, and just outside of there is Exit Glacier. There's a specific trail that leads right up to the glacier, the hike has a few difficult spots/ a few spots where you want to hold the hands of little ones, but overall it's a hike that most people could do.

There are little signs along the trail that teach you about Exit Glacier and glaciers in general, which makes the hike interactive for kids.

Then after you've hiked to the glacier, there's just a short drive back to town where they have restaurants and other things to do.

It's about a 2 hour drive from Anchorage, but completely worth it if you have the time.

Sign Post Forest

The Sign Post Forest- the treasure of Watson Lake, Yukon (Canada). People from all over the world bring signs (stolen, probably) and hang them in the forest. 

Wandering around the forest is so much fun. Reading all of the different signs and seeing where they've come from. Some are even homemade. 

It's amazing how so many people from so many different places have all "met" in this one spot. The forest is quite large and one could spend quite a while getting lost in the signs.

Jasper

Possibly the most beautiful place I've ever seen would be- Jasper, Canada. Nestled among the Canadian Rockies, this little German town is smack-dab between two National Parks. You can't ask for better than that!

The city is filled with quaint little restaurants, a beautiful park in the middle (perfect for picnics or evening strolls), and anything your exploring heart could desire- within minutes of the city center. The city welcomes you with a giant totem pole and the architecture of each building is vintage and detailed- making Jasper feel right out of a storybook.
