watery things today… so happy…

likely, by now, you all know about my obsession with bendy buses, lol…

on our way to Byward Market we saw many… so I had to get a picture…

then we picked up beavertails and drove to the Rideau Falls… I had some chocolate on my arm so had to clean it up which proved very humorous for my daughter…

shared the beavertails and walked to, around and over the two sets of Falls…

was very excited to spot a Great Blue Heron at the bottom of the second set… they are such majestic birds and remind me of a trip to the East Coast we took many years ago and saw them everywhere…

also took a few shots of this sculpture… for years my daughter collected worlds, lol, so it was fun to see this one with her…

I spent an hour or so sitting alone on a sandy beach at Petrie Island while she paddleboarded… the water was like glass and tunes were playing in the background for the beach volleyball game going on behind me as the sun went down on this beautiful day…

ended the evening at the Soul Stone Sushi Bar & Grill… the food was excellent… if you go there order the Fusion roll… OMG…

2017 Ottawa day 5, big girl pants, boat, family, Kingston, leaves, locks, memories, moments, paddle boarding, selfie, walk, weather, widow

started our day early in Kingston with a trip to the Base beach to do some stand up paddle boarding… it was a gorgeous morning, warm but breezy…

my daughter got out onto the water but realized it was too windy so we packed the stuff up… it is a lovely beach with many sailboats at the marina…

on our way home we stopped and checked out a couple of trails…

the leaves and acorns were beautiful…

then it was time for lunch, farewells and the drive back to Ottawa… on the way we took a few detours to find some possible paddle boarding sites…

we came across a boat going through the locks at one spot and had fun watching the process…

continue to work on my selfie skills, and as one woman put it while we were trying to get just the right one – it is harder than it looks, lol…

rained for about the last half hour of our drive, then stopped for just long enough to unload the car…

another fun filled day… now I am tired and ready for bed…
