We're Back!!! Look at that, 7.5 years gone by in the snap of a finger!
Good news is my waist measurement is still under 32.5 inches which was the original purpose for the blog, yeah to maintaining good health. When we last left off, we were just about to move to Pickering. We are still in that house, being shared with my parents who are both still in good health. The only missing party is our dog Girly, she lived a great life to the age of 13 and her last day was probably the only bad day in her whole life.
So what’s up with me? I’m still actively quilting, not as much as I should be; but I blame Instagram and FaceBook for that. I waste too much time on “the Net”. I suppose it’s no different than how we used to waste our time watching TV. Still walking a lot with the good intention to get back to slow running.
The big change in our life has been RV’ing. This is our 4th summer out and we are already on our third trailer. At the moment, we are really satisfied with our Grand Design Imagine 2150RB. We both LOVE our camping adventures and it has really enriched our time spent together.
I enjoy all the pre-planning involved in deciding where to go, what to do, and what to bring. I will be retiring from work on June 28 and decided to “wake up the blog”. We want to keep a record of the places we have visited, not only for our own memories, but perhaps it may help others in their camping adventures too.
Fifty Point Conservation Area, May 25 to June 2, 2019
This is our fourth visit back to Fifty Point and we will return in October to close out the season. I enjoy so many things about the park and location (except for the background road noise from the QEW).
We had booked site 44, however with all the rain and flooding this Spring the site was super soggy and wet. We transferred to site 61 as a drier alternative. My favourite site in the park is still 42, with possible alternatives of 70, 76 and 58.
Below are some of the selling points of why I really enjoy our trips to Fifty Point Conservation Area:
30/50 E/W/S Hookups, clean Comfort Centre with Laundry and WiFi that actually works great with our extender.
Walking Trails to the Beach and Marina for physical activity
Great Birding (this year we added Starlings, Eastern Bluebirds and Killdears to our list)
Excellent Shopping - Costco, LCBO, Superstore, 50 Point Market, The Dutch Shop, Starsky’s and Farmstands
Wineries and Breweries (visited Vineland, Peninsula Ridge, Cave Spring and Bench)
Restaurants (visited D & A Pizza – Greek Salad x 2, Gyro Pizza and Greek Fries)
We kept pretty close to the Park this time not venturing farther than Grimsby preferring to have a relaxed vacation. Normally we would head out to the Niagara on the Lake Region where we visit more wineries, outlet stores, sometimes Niagara Falls and a visit with our friends who own On the 6 Bed and Breakfast.
We have another 5 locations already booked this year so more updates to come.
