Was a nice 2 1/2 hour drive up from Burlington to Craigleith. We stopped in the small town of Creemore just have a coffee and a vegan muffin to fuel our bodies for the last hour of the trip. It’s a sunny but very very windy day so we were disappointed because it looks a little too choppy out there to take the kayaks out today. We decided to go on a 5K jog down the Collingwood trail and a had a small bike ride too. We decided to meet up with Philip’s brother Paul who is also staying in a cottage just outside of Thornbury. We met them at bridges Tavern, which is a nice little pub in Thornbury. We are getting up very early tomorrow morning and going to give the kayaks another try, there’s a launch just in the campsite that we are going to try out.
Well we are back at the campsite and enjoying some of the last evening sun while Tricia is preparing tonight’s recipe dinner. Baked potato with campfire baked beans and mixed vegetables. This seems to be a tradition of ours, baked beans and vegetables. Tricia mixes them with peppers, onions and spices which go great with the baked potato.
Two lonely potatoes BBQ’ing for our dinner soon to be paired with a delicious bean and vegetable topping!
Me hard at work enjoying the start of our camping week.
