Interested in a place that’s beautiful, relaxed, casual, welcoming, friendly, fun, and interesting? We are… these are the types of places we search for when we travel! We often find this vibe on Islands… would Manitoulin Island capture our hearts? Yes!
Ah, Tobermory… what can I say? Amazing… beautiful… fun… fantastic… Tobermory is one of those special places that we knew we’d love the moment we saw it. We were supposed to check out some other places in the 2.5 days that we spend in Tobermory, but we didn’t. We couldn’t leave… it is just that great!
Do you ever feel like you’ve gone back in time? Like you’ve stepped back into another day long ago? From the moment the ferry pulled into the dock at Pelee Island, wonderful childhood memories came back to me. Daniel, Todd, and I spent a perfect day on Pelee Island and everywhere I looked I kept thinking… this place hasn’t changed a bit!
Have you ever been somewhere as a kid and wondered what it would be like years later? Todd and I had both been to the Leamington/Pelee area while boating with our parents many years ago. As a child, my family enjoyed summer vacations at a cottage on the Pelee Island shore. Todd and I eagerly anticipated this stop on the trip…
Imagine a beach that’s over a mile long, the sand is soft, there are sandbars far out into the water, shades of blue line everywhere you look, and the water is so clear you can see the ripples in the sand. Sounds like the Caribbean, right? How about the beach at Long Point Provincial Park in Ontario?
What’s on the other side of Lake Erie? When Todd and I were kids we often visited Leamington, Ontario and Pelee Island, Ontario with our parents on their boats, but we’d never been anywhere else on the northern Lake Erie coast. As we gazed at the beach from the south side we looked across and wondered… Are the beaches the same? How about the towns? How about the country side? Is the Canadian culture different?
