This Blog will be used to document the travels of Stuart and Tippy Reid as we travel this beautiful country in our motorhome. We will hopefully be able to share our experiences in words and pictures and allow our friends and family to enjoy them with us.

Barrie, Ontario

We left Sturgeon Falls on Thursday and had enjoyable drive to Barrie, about 180 miles. We made one stop to stretch and walk Alex but couldn't find another place to stop so we drove right to the RV Park. We have a great site here, gigantic cement pad for the coach and the patio. The only problem is we get the afternoon sun on the patio side so we have been having cocktails on the other side in the shade of the coach.

We drove around the area on Thursday afternoon and into the town of Penetanguishene – Pen-tan-goo-shene. This town is right on Georgian Bay, off of Lake Huron, was quite beautiful and the waterfront was very nice. We looked into taking a cruise through the 30,000 islands of the bay and then had lunch at the Dock Lunch. We decided not to take the cruise due to its length and the heat, now in the high 80’s.

On Friday we went into Barrie and went to the theatre to see Bourne Ultimatum. We both enjoyed the show and all of the action! There were several chase scenes that were pretty cool and exciting! Saturday we just stayed around the coach and relaxed. We both read books, had lunch, and just enjoyed a great day. Today, Sunday, I played golf with a fellow I met here at the park, Guy LeBlanc, and Tippy went to Mass in Barrie. Guy and I were able to take $4 from his friends and we really had a good time playing and joking our way around the course.

Guy and I will play golf again tomorrow at a course near the RV park called Settler’s Ghost. As we drove to the course today Guy pointed out a house that belonged to a friend of his that caddied on the PGA Tour. When I asked him who he caddied for he said, Craig Barlow! Can you imagine, someone that I have known since he started high school.

We will take the coach in on Tuesday for service, take Alex for grooming, and we will go shopping. On Wednesday we will travel to Niagara Falls where we will meet our friends Jackie and Jerry Wooldridge. We hope to share some activities with them and catch up on Nevada news. Enjoy the pics below from our golf today and be safe.
