I don’t know how many Ontarians read my blog but just recently J and I discovered a beautiful new spot that we had never been before… this is apparently the “diving capital” of Canada … Tobermory! We rented one of the yurts there with a couple of our friends … it was affordable at $80 per person for 3 nights and we had a blast fishing, swimming, hiking, exploring, going to the docks, antiquing, and discovering a bunch of awesome independent coffee shops with crazy home baked goods! It was the perfect long weekend for J and I who have obviously been on a a budget with the wedding and home renovations… usually we would trek to New York or something of the sort… but that can get quite pricey for a long weekend and to be honest, this was just so much more relaxing and stress free (which J and I really needed after this crazy summer!) … We will probably go back next summer to Tobermory/Bruce Peninsula.. because we loved it that much! The water looked like water we see in the Caribbean .. to be honest, we didn't even know we had waters like this in Ontario and so close to home! Well, you can bet I didn't bring any of my perfumes with me here…. haha… I would have been eaten alive! The only “perfume” I wore was bug spray … and that is ok by me if it means clearing my head, fresh air and peace and quite … even if only for a weekend!



Hope you all have a great weekend!
