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…

water…

beavertail, big girl pants, Cinderella, cruise, locks, Luxe, rain, water

woke up to this view out the window first thing…

  
bit rainy and damp…

we had breakfast, visited, and made plans for the day and week…

got a few pictures of our pretty toes while waiting for the bus… people around us must have thought we were crazy…

  
off to the mall to see Cinderella… excellent movie… “have courage and be kind”…

falafel in the food court with a bottle of water and then downtown for a boat cruise on the river… wonderful falls which I haven’t seen before as well as lots of other facts and tidbits from the tour guide…

  
this shot looks toward Gatineau Park where we went hot air ballooning last year when I was here…

  
the light was much better when we got off the boat so we retook all the pictures we had done on our way down beside the locks…

  

then a walk through Byward Market and dinner at Luxe… delicious… had bone marrow for the first time and it was very nice… followed up with ricotta gnocchi on asparagus, porcini mushrooms, edamame, and tomato, with parmesan snow… oh my… if you get a chance you should eat there…

  
finally finished off dinner with a beavertail…  a bit of indulgence… only ate a little more than half…

  
lots of water in my day, lol…

great day…
