Over the years we have traveled a lot.  Sometimes relatively locally within a few hours of home, and sometimes to the other side of the country (or even to other countries!). Over time I have discovered there are activities you can do (almost) anywhere.

I’m a planner and for every trip our family makes (or ones I do solo!), I create a loose itinerary of the things to do during the commute to our ultimate destination, as well as local highlights we might want to experience.

Every now and again the locations we visit are a little light on the entertainment. But there are a handful of things I keep on my reserve list that you can do just about anywhere. Read on for my favorites.

Based on recommendations from friends, we decided to stay on the Canadian side.
