Our 'bucket list' trip to Ottawa for Winterlude 2012 to skate the Rideau and experience our first winter festival. 49 Photos Photos from our first visit to our capital city in August 2011, during which we focussed on history and citizenship, with visits to the wonderful Museum of Civilization and Parliament Hill. 61 Photos Driving between Toronto and L'Outouais in Augus 2011, we relished our first glimpses of the Rideau Canal and Lakes - definitely to be explored further. 7 Photos From a magical visit to PEC for the maple syrup festival in Spring 2011. 19 Photos Easter Weekend 2010, Mountsberg Conservation Area 9 Photos Photos from our cottage vacation, August 2010 16 Photos Needing a break, we headed an hour or so north of Toronto for a real taste of Canadian winter (last weekend of February 2010) 35 Photos Our first glimpses of Niagara Falls October 2009, then visits with guests in September and December 2011 36 Photos With only a couple of stolen days, we barely touched the surface of what this lovely area has to offer. In contemplating city living, as a country girl it is important to know how easy it is to escape into the country - and what country! 31 Photos Summer at Blue Mountain Ski Resort, Georgian Bay, just over 2 hours drive from Toronto. I didn't think I would like this, a modern, purpose built village but was agreeably surprised and impressed. 14 Photos We stayed at this beautiful B&B in Georgian Bay (around 2 hours easy drive from Toronto) for a long weekend. The surroundings are glorious, with nature's abundance on full display. 39 Photos
