After leaving Kitchener at 4:00 p.m on Friday afternoon, we drove the “401” right through Toronto and out on the 427 highway over to Yonge street to Oakridges. Yes we did! It was crazy busy with all the lanes, people and the traffic, but Jack did great and Tom (our GPS) was invaluable. We stopped in Oakridges and called our friend Paul for directions. Once again we were graciously welcomed at the VanNostrands’ homestead where we had a wonderful visit with Mike and Betty. Also had a great quick visit with Gary and Paul’s other brother David. VanDorf/Aurora is a beautiful area. Some of the homes are remarkable… real estates. Mike took us over to the Trillium equestrian centre where they board horses and train children to jump and show them. This is an amazing estate, very beautiful.
From the Van Nostrands we drove to Ottawa. We were going to overnight at a campground and then see some of the sights. However we got to Ottawa late and just parked in Costco parking lot. The security guard checked us out and made sure it was okay for us to park there. We pulled off the highway and stopped near the Scotia place arena, but we didn’t see any senators.
