The frozen canal….still haven’t actually skated on it!
Once we left Cambridge, we started on our holiday road trip to visit family. We started in Bright’s Grove, then headed for North Bay for a few days, over to Ottawa, and then back to Newmarket/Aurora. It was great to see everyone!
While in Ottawa, something I’ve always wanted to do was skate on the Rideau Canal. It had been cold enough to have about a 7K stretch open to the public so it was the perfect chance to cross that off my “To Do” list. Unfortunately the skate rental place had nothing left in our size so we had to settle for a quick walk on the canal. It was a very cold day so it was probably a good thing we didn’t go skating because I’m sure my toes would have felt like they were going to fall off! Settled for a hot drink instead!
