Making BIG Changes (luxury geodesic dome)

it's time to change things up we last saw you when we were living out of this rig in Costa Rica this experience made us rethink our plans just a little bit maybe we don't need a bigger van maybe we don't need more space since then we have spent loads of quality time with our friends and family over the holidays and this week it's time to experience this geodesic dome in the woods to wind down a little bit and have some very important conversations all right all right we are getting close to our grand location we stopped at the LCBO which if you're from Ontario you know this is where we get our wine um because you can't go glamping without some wine that's not true you don't have to drink wine I'm so glad I turned the camera on after the holidays and hanging out with friends and family we went right back to work working for the man grinding it out working for who the man who's the man you know the man they'll know what I'm talking about so having a quick uh one night getaway is not too shabby we can find it can we get out of this parking lot somehow and we've also never done anything like this I'm excited on a more serious note it's 20 23 and we don't look very serious it has been almost a year since we started this channel isn't that crazy we posted our first video last February we have no idea know what to do with this camera do we cue to a quick year go [Music] running so happy 2023 thank you to all of you who have been supporting us this past year we are so excited for this year and everything that it is going to bring we don't really know what that looks like yet but we have some ideas and we'll share them with you but first we have to find this location and then we'll get settled also I'm gonna cook some really delicious food tonight so we'll show you that too we were very excited to do this excursion under a blanket of snow but this is what we're dealing with right now so just use your imagination okay and hope that it snows tonight [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh my God this is amazing look at this we have always wondered what it would be like to stay in one of these geodesic domes so we connected with Birchwood luxury camping to spend a night here alone in the woods welcome chase down a brand new adventure while here we go again I think Dolly just flew the Drone to a tree you would think I would learn my lesson since the last time I flew that thing it landed in a river but she did it first time but she didn't believe me this time yeah first thing I'm gonna do is check out this adorable bag north of Port applewood's pear and crab apple cider have you ever had a crab apple have you why are you saying it's so funny crab apple so we left our speakers in Costa Rica good thing they have a record player oh the temptation [Music] talking about me [Music] I'll do a slip and flag contest to me do it this is what they meant by freezing drizzle just like a little bit of ice are you skating to me before dinner here's a quick message from this week's sponsor alright we have been super particular with the brands that we choose to work with and when we spoke to the folks over at Harry's we knew it would be a perfect fit we love that Harry's makes fair price high quality razors for anyone all while supporting non-profit organizations all right all right I know what you're thinking really an ad for razors but the reality is most of you use them or you know someone who does so whether you're an I gotta shave every single morning type of person or and I like to go all natural but should probably have a razor just in case we highly recommend you get your razors from Harry's don't try that at home their premium blades were manufactured in their very own Factory in Germany and get delivered right to your door so you can always count on getting a close comfortable and smooth shave the handle is even made from 50 recycled plastic and gives you a great grip we got this cool bright orange color when you click the link in the description you'll be able to redeem your starter set for just five dollars in it you'll get a five blade razor a weighted handle a blade cover and their foaming shave gel so make sure you go to harrys.com ads to redeem your offer a big thank you to Harry's for sponsoring this week's video I just love that this place is so close to the heart of downtown Toronto it only took us about an hour to drive here and we feel like we are so far out of the city it's so quiet we're in nature hanging out together and guess what's on the menu my favorite thing who knows what it is what's your favorite kind of one ours Pinot Noir cheers she just got those sweatpants and I might have still dragged one on them we're making a pasta it stems from a penne ala vodka that we used to make as like a go-to but a lot of times we don't have vodka and a lot of times we like to throw in a veg in there so basically we sauteed some shallots garlic and mushrooms in some butter and I'm gonna put some tomato paste and a little bit of tomato sauce and then we're gonna put some creamer in there we love this oat creamer where you could just use regular cream and we're gonna make a saucy sauce foreign [Music] [Music] things in life so good I could actually have this like we should try and see how many meals in a row I could have this board and see if I would get sick of it Vlog idea pasta for 100 days for every now washing dishes in this thing who's uh really making me miss Billy we should tell you what we're doing with that I remember the last time we spoke to you about our van we told you we were selling it well we've had a little bit of a change of plans shall we call it we'll clean some dishes and we'll tell you in a minute I think our time in Costa Rica living out of probably the tiniest accommodation you could have made us realize that maybe we don't need a bigger van maybe we don't need more space I think really like that is obviously the underlying but the main thing is that if we were to sell and buy and build there's no way we'd be getting back on the road for at least another year we love our van so much you know yeah like so happy and everything yeah like when I look back on how we felt when we were in Mexico like I never wanted more I was just so happy with what we had in that band there was like a few things and those are the things will change so basically we're gonna take this time to work on the upgrades work out work work and then and then hit the road Jack and don't you come back as soon as we get back on the road we will be back to posting weekly bids how fun is that it might not be the sit down you asked for but it's the sit down you got oh wow any questions if you have any questions write them in the comments so I've got to be honest with you all Talia is usually the fire Builder but I'm gonna try today and I told her I don't need her help at all you know it's something I've never seen before but it looks amazing wait a minute yeah [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] we do really feel lucky to live in a country in a place that gets to experience all the seasons God and I think we only really fell in love with winter in the past few years for two reasons I'd say one is Bowie yeah I love you he loves the snow which by the way he is with his auntie and uncle right now we are going back there today so you'll you'll see him soon so of course we're gonna do upgrades to the van and we do have something planned for hopefully the spring but I also really want to show you some Canadian winter activities so anyway get ready for a whole series of winter fun oh gosh okay so for breakfast we pre-made some overnight oats our fave breakfast is ready delicious I could probably make a full one hour documentary of clips of Maddie eating and going [Applause] it's my favorite thing guys I just love eating you know especially when it's healthy all right we've had a nice restful time here we gotta get back because I'm going back to work tomorrow we'll get packing and get out of here back to the city thanks Birchwood what a perfect little getaway if you're in the Toronto area and you want to try out that geodesic dome at Birchwood luxury camping we'll put the link in the description for you go check them out we are back at the apartment going to pick up our Bowie because we miss him and we love him so much we're going to take him to his favorite place I just want to take a moment to thank everybody for their Bowie comments I just love that you love Bowie as much as we do like I know we're not overdue doing it and it's been a while since Bowie's been in the Vlog so without further ado [Music] be this is our favorite game to play with me [Applause] [Music] are you ready put your shoes on get your coat let's go and you have don't forget your hat it's cold out is on the side that's all enjoy [Music] we've brought you guys to this park before it's our favorite dog park because it doesn't even feel like a dog park and it's pretty close to home right in the Heart of the City you're right on the water it's so big and there's so many amazing dogs that come all the time because there's lots of like dog walkers that come with like 15 dogs each so it's just a party wait also another hilarious thing is I guess a lot of people that came to the channel just through the Costa Rica series didn't think we had a dog because but we didn't come with us on that trip and so a lot of people commented you should get a dog you'd really love having a dog and then someone else replied saying they actually do have a dog his name's Bowie that thing makes me happier than when people talk to each other in the comments section it's so amazing we hope that you are all having a wonderful start to 2023 we can't wait to continue sharing with you this year we have so many fun things planned our wheels are just spinning continuously with ideas of things to do this year we won't see you next week but we will see you the first Sunday in February with an exciting Canadian winter Vlog we can't wait to see you then hope we made you smile we love you all and don't forget to go check out harrys.com
