When we arrived in Toronto Dana and Jarrod were so happy to see us and have us take over their home.
Our ride to Ottawa arrived about 10 packing the fixings for Mimosa’s. Greg and Leslie offered up toasts to Dana and Jarrod’s engagement, my survival of 2014 and the arrival of Stu and I in Ontario!
We said good bye to Dana and Jarrod they were sad to see us leave. We had 3 great days exploring Toronto with them.
We hit the road with Greg and Leslie. Traveled on the 401 for the first bit and then followed the Trent Severne to Frankford and then Highway 7 for the rest of the drive to Stittsville. After experiencing the chaos at the 401 rest stops we opted to grab a bite to eat at at a chip wagon along Highway 7.
Burgers and Poutine beside a lovely little lake.
We stopped for gas with a farmers market. They had green and yellow beans displayed in baskets that maybe held 2 cups of beans. The young lady tells us they cost $5.00 and we can mix and match green and yellow. We say OK and pay her the $5 and her partner bagged the beans while we collected our change. She hands us the bag. We dig out the luggage scale and the beans weigh in at 1.4 kg or 3 lbs.
Arrived at Greg and Leslie’s about 5PM – Happy Hour!!
Greg and Leslie’s son Lindsey, his wife Amanda and daughter Mackenzie came to visit. It was so nice to get to know all of them. Being a grandmother myself, it was especially great to meet Mackenzie who is almost 7 months old now. 🙂
