If there’s one thing I absolutely love, it’s a family vacation. And since my boys are so good on long drives, I have a special fondness for the road trip. There’s just something so freeing about hopping into the car and discovering new destinations that have been waiting just down the highway. Not sure where you want to go?

Looking for something truly picturesque? Head to Canada’s surf capital – Tofino.

There is nothing better than having the chance to travel and explore some of the fabulous areas that Canada has to offer, and right now Ramada Hotels wants you to experience the country’s beauty for yourself as the chain celebrates its 60th anniversary! With over 75 locations across Canada, there’s sure to be a Ramada hotel in a location that you’d love to visit!

Personally, I’d love to check out the Ramada Kelowna Hotel and Conference Center in Kelowna, BC. When I was growing up, my family spent many summers in the mountains of BC, so I know first-hand just what a beautiful area it is. And experiencing it is easy and comfortable at the Ramada Kelowna Hotel and Conference Center! Conveniently located just off Highway 97, the hotel features free Wi-Fi, an indoor pool, a hot tub and a fitness center. And kids under 17 stay free with an adult!
