I grew up (at least part of my childhood) in Kingston and I remember the 1,000 Islands very well (I even did a project about them in Grade 5). Yesterday we did a boat tour of the islands, and it was much as I remember: beautiful islands and isles with granite hills and huge trees; marinas with an insane number of boats; and some of the most amazing ‘cottages’ I have ever seen – perfect weather, smooth sailing, and a prime seat on the upper deck.
And, unlike another three-hour tour, we made it back safe & sound and on time, to Gananoque in time to pick up some desserts at the Pistachio Café.
In our down time, middle sister did a lot of crosswords, I did a lot of sudoku, and my youngest sister did a lot of pencil sketches. I was very impressed with her drawing of Boldt Castle’s power station.
She did a number of drawings from the trip – I liked her seagull, but she wasn’t so sure – you can see them on Instagram @ mandywebsterart
