Weekend Trip to Kelowna

My husband and I went on a road trip last weekend to Kelowna! I have only been to Kelowna maybe 3 or 4 times, but I think its just an awesome city. Plus it has a Target & Pier 1 Imports! (miss having these stores!) The drive was 12 hours there and 12 hours back (12 hours non stop). Sean and I have done so many road trips together. I honestly think we are just used to it now. We leave early, make a stop at Tim Hortons and hit the road. Lilly absolutely loves car rides. She sleeps almost the whole entire drive! She really only wakes up for when we stop to grab lunch and stretch our legs. Sean has family living in Kelowna so it was really nice to visit with Grandma Murphy and his aunt & uncle. With living in a small town the last 4 years it is just nice to get out of Fort St John and go see/do things we can't in FSJ. Things I miss from living in a city! My MUST do in Kelowna was to go shopping, walk around downtown and go out to eat at restaurants! Oh and get pumpkins! There is one pumpkin patch in FSJ and we went the other weekend and it was sold out! Not a single pumpkin left. I couldn't believe it. So I told Sean we had to go to a pumpkin patch in Kelowna.

We went to McMillan Farms in Kelowna. It was such a cute place! Other than a pumpkin patch they had farm animals, a corn maze, hay rides and other activities for kids.


I was completely in my happy place at Pier 1 Imports and absolutely love shopping for Christmas decor! I can't wait to put up the Christmas decor in our house!


I love how downtown Kelowna is right along the water. It's so nice to walk along the lake at night and go to different shops and bars. We went out for dinner one night at RauDZ Regional Table and wow was it amazing! We had never been there before and had heard great things about it so we wanted to check it out. 


I had the Cheese Burger and it was one of the best burgers I have ever had!


Sean had the Lamb Special and every bite he was saying how good it was!

It is pretty neat how the restaurant buys from local farms and you could definitely taste it! Their local wine list was great as well. If you haven't beed to RauDZ before you have to go.



A pretty rainbow on the morning we were going to start our drive back to Fort St John.

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
