Free Admission To All Canadian National Parks This Year! Canada's 150 Birthday!! 2017

So we went to Point Pelee recently and the very friendly and wonderful Government Employee informed us that we would not have to pay entry for 2017 and it is free because of Canada's 150th Birthday.  Then she gave us the Discovery Pass, pictured above, and it's plastic so we can use it over and over again for the year.  

We headed straight for the beach and check out the amazing view above at Black Willow Beach!  Total Heaven On Earth to me.  Ontario, Canada is among one of the top beautiful places in the world!  Hamilton is even the Waterfall Capital of the World, then there is Niagara Falls, the Scarborough Bloughs, Humber Beach, and so much more!  Then we have amazing man made structures and other amazing tourist sites like the CN Tower, Ripley's Aquarium, The Eaton's Centre and those 3 alone are all located downtown Toronto.  For more tourist information for Ontario click this sentence part and for Toronto hit this part.

Cheers!

Holiday Road 2017

We took a quick road trip because my husband took a computer course in the states so I decided to go with him and we drove because it's the best way to travel if you can.  You get to experience so many places and it's so scenic too.  It can be a bit difficult, however, if you don't have a good system.  Driving for long periods of time is not easy sometimes so take advantage of the lovely rest stops on both sides of the boarder to literally rest up or Hotels.com app to help easily find a place on the go if you are really tired and need a bigger break.  It's what we do and it really works!  It's a heck of a lot more affordable than other means of transportation, especially flying, and you are more in charge of what you end up doing, I find.  I also bring a good book and we indulge in pod casts and satellite radio.  Sometimes you find unplanned pit stop gems too that you can venture.

So we went through Detroit, Michigan, through Ohio, then Indiana because we needed to get to Indianapolis (then back) and lastly to Point Peele, Ontario.  The pictures are all in that order too and if you want to see more please check out my Flickr Albums for those pics and more: https://www.flickr.com/photos/annagarastophotography/albums

I will be doing a separate blog for Point Pelee because I have more to share about it.  A really incredible place full of beautiful nature.  I swear, nature is my church, such a positive recharge and uplifting experience!

Mount Pleasant Cemetery

Toronto has such amazing public spaces and Mount Pleasant Cemetery is no exception.  So peaceful and the surround nature is quite remarkable.  We recently spent an afternoon there walking around with our little dachshund and I kinda felt like I was at Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris again, only different, because Mount Pleasant is so full of such beautiful nature and it's very spacious.  It was not scary at all to me and I kept picking up such a tranquil vibe.  Mind you I have never been there at night but during the day it's very lovely.
