A long distance car trip and our staycation in almost two years! It was such a refreshing and liberating experience!
We have looked forward and planned for this holiday for quite a few weeks. I could hardly hide my excitement when the day of our trip arrived.
All the preparations were checked off on our to do list - packing all the necessary items, cleaning the house, mowing the front and backyard, turning off the water! We didn't do it the last time and the toilet was running for two weeks which cost us over $700.00 in water bills! So this time we remembered to do it!
We took our time for the drive up north of Toronto. A drive that normally takes 4 1/2 hours, we took it slow, and enjoyed the different small towns on our way up. We stopped for lunch at a country restaurant and shopped at one of the lovely craft stores displaying many creative folk art items.
We arrived at Tobermory at around 5:30pm. Helen and Raymond were gracious hosts and invited us to stay for a few days at their
cottage. She even prepared dinner for us.
After dinner,they drove us to see the light house which only took a few minutes drive. Their cottage is located just a short distance from downtown Tobermory.
We love Travelling, in particular, meeting old friends and catching up with them. We have known Helen for more than a decade and have watched their kids growing up in Waterloo.
Helen prepared a camp fire in their vast backyard and we stayed up and talked into the night!
We would spend a few days in Tobermory and plan to visit a number of places and look forward to enjoying some downtime in this unique beautiful scenic part of Ontario, Canada, recognized by UNESCO as one of the UNESCO Biospheres!
