Kingston

We are on our way to Ottawa for an interesting and educational summer break.  In order to break up the journey and save me from inevitable insanity sitting in the back of the car all day with the kids we stopped off in Kingston.

Kingston was established in 1673 and is therefore the oldest European settlement in Ontario.  There are some beautiful old buildings (which I did not take pictures of) and with the lake view and fountains and all the patio seating outside the restaurants it was a lovely place for wandering around on a warm summer evening.

There was a surprising amount of wildlife, first we spotted a bear...

Then a moose...

We went on a cruise around the harbour and some of the islands, it wasn't up to the Georgian bay cruise as the scenery was not half as spectacular.  Rose got bored and took about 50 selfies.  Here are a couple of the best.
