Friday before a long weekend, and all I can think about it what I’m NOT going to do as September starts. I am not going to stress out. I am not going to run around when I don’t have to. And I’m not going to fuss over food. Why? Because I’ll be stopping by Uncle Smoke Cookhouse for some delicious BBQ and accouterments.

Experiencing Halifax in the best way possible
For those of you who follow along with Julio & I on social media, you’ll have seen that in partnership with Marriott International and Marriott Traveler, we recently took a trip to Halifax. I also realized that this marked a trip to both the east and west coast of Canada as we continue to #TravelWithMarriottCanada. That’s a huge accomplishment for us, and with so many beautiful cities and properties to visit, we couldn’t be more proud to continue to share our adventures with you. Stay tuned as Catherine continues to share her west coast experiences on the blog soon! And of course, in case you wanted to see the blog post I wrote for Marriott Traveler, click here. I wanted to share some of my favourite moments from the trip and why I think that all Canadians should experience Halifax for themselves this year! Did I also mention that there’s an amazing contest that you can enter to experience a similar trip for yourself? I’ve got all the details for you!
