Nearby Kelowna offers every vacation retreat imaginable, all within a 7-hour drive from Calgary, 4-hour drive from Vancouver or 1-hour flight.

It’s officially spring – and that means it’s time to plan your family vacation.

As a local I always look forward to Easter Weekend with the grass getting green, flowers starting to spring up, and more and more people outside enjoying the fresh spring air.

Getting outside and exploring nature is a great way to entertain children and get exercise as a family.

Travelling to Kelowna and searching for the ideal accommodations for your family? Whether you are looking for a centrally-located hotel or something off the beaten path, here are a handful of options to suit your needs.

I have my favourites in Kelowna, hip-hop brunches, winery lunches, and brewery dinners (yes, all my favourites are meals.) And my kids have their favourites.

The best part of BC Day is it's a holiday dedicated to families. Life gets busy and unfortunately, family fun-times often gets replaced with work and chores. So, having time to hang with family is a really welcomed, especially in the middle of winter.

Kelowna is well known for Okanagan Lake and all of the beautiful beaches that visitors and locals enjoy every day during the warm months. But have you ever spent time at the beach on a winter day?

Mission Creek Greenway is often thought of by locals as a nice shady walk, away from the hot sun of summer. However, my favourite time to visit this linear park is in the fall and winter when the colors and contrasts are at their peak!

The arrival of winter brings with it the desire to be inside our cozy warm homes and just sit back and watch Netflix. But this can get boring pretty quick.
