As you know (or perhaps you don’t kn0w), I had the opportunity to drive a Chevy Volt for four days as was determined NOT to have it parked in my underground garage. I knew that I wanted to go on day trips but selecting WHERE to go was not easy:
a) I had just visited Niagara on the Lake in April
b) Hamilton was on the list re: checking out food trucks
c) Peterborough was on the list too but barely
d) Cobourg was on the list too but I go several times each summer to enjoy the beach and it was a bit too early to do that
After a lot of deliberation, I finally decided to go to Elora on one day and St. Jacobs plus Stratford on another day.
Elora is probably my favorite small town – I love the gorge, the galleries, and of course …the deep fried pickles from Something Fishy. This town has done it right. It’s truly charming but not in a tacky way. Do you know what I mean?
worth the calories
St. Jacobs was a bit disappointing. Then again I went on a Sunday and most things were closed so I quickly decided to go to Stratford.
After a quick drive (app. 30 minutes), I was in Stratford. The downtown core has just the right combination of stores and restaurant. But I really love walking by the river . I couldnt stop taking photos. The trip was highlighted by my Goat Cheese Poutine at Boomers Gourmet Fries. (who were featured on You Gotta Eat Here on the Food Network). Seriously, it was one perfect day….life couldnt get better!!
charming
happiness
worth the calories...every single one of them
Do you have a favorite city for a day trip? As you can see..I have a few favorite day trips
