Scots on the Rocks

G and I spent the weekend in Kingston at Scots on the Rocks. Scots on the Rocks Annie and daughter were our gracious hosts and we had a superb time! We to- and fro-ed with Via1, which I’m telling you, is the best way to travel anywhere in Canada. I simply adore it! Here’s a load of picture from our 4 days away.

1) the cottage; 2) the view from the porch; 3) birches everywhere!


We were lucky that Ontario’s official flower, the trillium, was in full bloom everywhere this weekend. Here’s a sampling of some of the trilliums we saw.

There was some hiking with a baby who clearly does not want to wear hats.

19) the table; 20) tomato soup and curry chips [sounds gross I know, but trust me, try it]


In the end though, it was all about seeing Annie and the baby and some of Kingston.
