Hungry Hollow Trail
I love having an amazing trail so close to home. When I was a kid Hungry Hollow had no bridge and was, in winter, an interesting -terrifying – car ride. Now it has a beautifully constructed trail along Silver Creek. The ravine is one of my favourite parts of Georgetown, and was a huge part of my childhood. This trail showcases some of the best parts, going from the flat creek to the hilly wooded area. You can even see the posts from the old camp. The day we went was perfect. The sun was shining, no clouds in sight but the shade afforded a relief. The only downside is…

Limehouse Conservation Area
The trail through the Limehouse Conservation Area is gorgeous. When we reached Limehouse we found these beautiful, humungous mushrooms on a tree on the edge of a property. I love mushrooms, and seeing how large they can grow is incredible. We didn’t go deep into the area but there are lots of places to explore, including remnants of the of Lime industry. The Limehouse Kilns have been around since the late 1800s and are a must see when on the trail. It was a lovely, but muggy, overcast day. Everything in the forest was bright green, popping against the dark brown ground. Limehouse is a tiny town, but is surrounded by gorgeous woodlands. This…

Georgetown
Every time I go back to Georgetown I am shocked by how different it is. As I grew up the town was expanding, but the past few years the town has grown quite large. This time, instead of focusing on the new sections of the town, I went to old Georgetown. Main street is picturesque, and in some pictures looks like a toy. The old buildings are beautiful, the street is perfectly groomed and there is an odd sense of comfort and safety as you walk the street. It is a wonderful place to visit and only makes me want to adventure around more small towns.

Winery
Here are the rest of the photos from my time back home. We visited a berry picking farm/winery on the edge of Georgetown neither of us knew about. This cute farm was a lovely stop and a great find.

Halton
Coming home is always lovely, but in the winter Georgetown is a completely different place. Summer here is gorgeous, and since I haven’t been home in a while, my father and I adventured. Georgetown is a tiny town surrounded by farmland. The photos of Main street, which will be posted tomorrow, don’t even look real. It wasn’t the liveliest place to grow up but coming back from the city to a small town is always nice.

Ripley’s Aquarium Part 1
While in Toronto, my mother and I ventured into the city to see the new Ripley’s Aquarium. It was incredible, the colours were stunning and there were fish we had never even heard of before. Although the price was a little much, we had a great time exploring.

Merry Christmas
I came back to Ontario during one of the worst ice storms we’ve seen. My hometown looks like Narnia – its incredible.

Ontario
It was absolutely wonderful, she could not have been more excited. That night was low key, drinks with her roommates, maybe a midnight trip to McDonalds. It was great to catch up and spend time with her. Her friends are friendly and accommodating, and the cat and dog were lovely. The next day we walked around the city, exploring Parliment Hill, seeing Champlain’s Point and enjoying our time together. Ottawa is stunning, the Parliment buildings are beautiful. The only downfall was the rain which forced us back to her home for a movie. That night was my first Casino experience. I lost five dollars on the penny machine and spent the…
