As you know by now, it’s no shock that whenever I get the chance to pack up the car and hit the road with Julio (and Canela), I take it. While I’m still manifesting (slash hunting for the right sponsors) for a cross country RV experience, I am left excited by weekends away in just a few hours in all directions from Ottawa.
