I have a big sweet tooth, and on a recent Saturday drive to shoot content, we made a few stops to pick up some tasty treats. I’m sharing the best dessert shops in Hamilton and Burlington, Ontario, which also makes for the perfect day trip from Toronto! Hello Baked in Hamilton The first time I visited Hello Baked was after…
On our second day in Iceland, we spent time in Reykjavik before going to the Blue Lagoon. Here are our highlights on what to see in Reykjavik.

With only three days in Iceland, we needed to pack all we could in! On our first day, we did a classic Golden Circle tour in South Iceland, with the addition of a fabulous spa to break up the excitement.

It was frustrating as they could not scan a bar code to let you on the boat and you had to line up at the ticket booth. Luckily we made it on just in time!
