Cute EVERYTHING

The entire trip is a nice easy drive out of Toronto, and the whole thing is cute stop after cute stop.
My girlfriend and I love these adventures, as competitive bodybuilders it’s hard to find things to do that aren’t centred around food, so these trips are fantastic

Underwhelming

Many places are closed. The places that are open are underwhelming to say the least. The trails and beach were the only okay things on this yripm
