Lake Ontario is a vast body of water with lots going on.The ferries and water taxis to and from the islands are a nice trip as is a walk along the Lake shore with the many boats and birds to see.There are also the comings and goings of the smaller planes from Billy Bishop Airport and we were lucky enough to watch a sea plane landing.Lots to see and do.

There is much to see inside and around Parliament Hill, especially during summer time. At 10:00 am is the Change of the GuardsCeremony. There are free tours for the Parliament building (Centre Block and East block tours), which require to line up fro tickets for a set time. The Parliament Hill building is Gothic Revival housing a beautiful library at the back of the building. This is the only room that survived the Parliament fire. The surrounding area around the Parliament Hill Buildings have many statues and offers a beautiful view of Ottawa National Gallery, the Cathedral, and the Canada Museum of History across the river, to mention a few sights. Ottawa is very green, clean and easy to walk. In the evening, the Northern Lights- Sound and Light Show presents the narrated Canadian History in English and French, projecting the lights and images on to the Parliament building. It was preceded by fireworks. The show was spectacular, very high quality images, well told history at a good pace. It was quite emotional at the end when people stands and sing the national anthem! This show will end on Labour Day. Bring a blanket or portable chair. There is free parking at Metcalfe street and Albert Street on the weekends, but it fills quickly, especially for the evening light show. A good paid parking is at the National Arts Centre.

Port Credit area has 2 water fronts. The port section has the light house on the road and walkway on the shoreline. This also has the Snug Harbour restaurant. But there is a challenge with parking as there's only pay parking on the road. The other one is the J.C. Saddington park is a nice park with plethora of grass areas, seating benches, lake shore and rocky areasto seat and enjoy the views. Also it has 2 large parking areas. Very good view of the sunrise behind the solitary ship on the lake. It is really nice to have a walk during morning or evening.

This is one of London's iconic locations. It includes Storybook Garden for children (and their grown-ups) and you can even skate the Storybook paths in winter. There is a miniature train and a carousel, both outside of Storybook Gardens and many, many venues for family picnics, strolls, walking the dog, or just viewing threes and river and things like that!

Just finished our wine tasting tour at Peller Estates in famous Niagara-on-the-Lake. Beautiful scenery, premium wine, fun historical tidbits from our friendly guide Paul, and the wonderfully unique -10 degrees Ice Room Lounge. We loved all the wines, especially the Riesling Ice Wine served in the ice room at the ice bar. Great summer fun! And I course we also bought a bottle of the award winning Peller Riesling Ice Wine to take home with us. We will be back again. Thanks all.
