Fun Time!

Oh my gosh we got off to a late start. My copilot got ready for 10:30am to start our trip. Just saying Between would have been 8 - 9 a great time to leave. The day was 20℃ sunny until 6pm the dark clouds rolled in and it started to drizzle. What a better way to do part #4 that way. It was a fabulous Day we didn't do #3 because of our late start by the time we arrived at # 1 it was 1pm So we had lunch at this cute little place called the Old Station not handicap accessible. A lot of this trip wasn't accessible. Great day fabulous time. This was our second Guess Where Trip. Be prepared to drive especially if your not staying over night somewhere. It was a 13 hour trip from Port Credit and back with our touring and we left out #3. Plan accordingly. I would strongly suggest the surprise factor with the gift box. We couldn't do that on this trip as the mail strike hindered that.

Thank you for leaving a review and providing your feedback! We're thrilled that you had a wonderful day, even with the long drive and a bit of rain at the end. Note that we are using alternative couriers other than Canada Post, so we are not affected by the mail strike, in case you want to get the physical envelopes in the future! :)

Amazing!

Had a fabulous day exploring our own backyard. After many trips to the Muskoka area this was the best one, we stopped at many places we had never been before. Definitely worth experience!!

We love when locals explore their own backyard and find new places to visit! :) We're so happy that you had a great time on your road trip. Thank you so much for leaving a review!
