limeyangler Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 Hi All, First off, an aknowledgement due to all the kind invitations to fish when i was down, just did not turn out to be on the cards. Time, weather and no internet access conspired to make this a relatively fishing free vacation. Fact of the matter was my wife's mother is very ill and we had to be ready to visit at short notice. Could not make the fish-a-thon either . Good news, Mother-in-law is doing much better and we had fun despite the stresses. ON THE 1ST DAY OF TRAVEL WE STOPPED AT LAKE SUPERIOR TO COOL OFF, EAT LUNCH, HAVE A PEE AND STRETCH OUR LEGS WE WERE A LITTLE LATE ARRIVING THE 2ND DAY, BUT GRAMPS (AKA COLONEL SANDERS) WAS WAITING AT THE TRAILER AT ERIEAU JACK MADE FRIENDS QUICKLY WITH GRAMPS' FRIEND SONNY......WATER FIGHTS WERE FREQUENT AND FIERCELY CONTESTED FISHING WAS INFREQUENT AND LIMITED TO THE BREAKWATER WALL AND PIER, FISH WERE SMALL AND SCARCE WE GOT ON THE OPEN WATER COURTESY OF ANOTHER FRIEND OF GRAMPS....JACK AND MUM GOT SOAKED...BUT HAD AN ABSOLUTE SCREAM! TOOK SOME TIME TO DO THE TOURIST THING, NIAGRA, CN TOWER AND A YUMMY CHINESE MEAL ON SPADINA FINALLY GOT TO SEE GRAMMA IN HOSPITAL THEN IT WAS BACK TO ERIEAU ON THE FINAL DAY JACK MET HIS COUSINS FOR THE FIRST TIME THEN IT WAS ANOTHER 2 DAY JOURNEY HOME WAS GLAD TO BE HOME TO BE HONEST......I CANT HANDLE THE CROWDS FOR LONG THESE DAYS, AND THE DAY AFTER GETTING HOME NORMAL SERVICE RESUMED.
Musky or Specks Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 Glad to hear Grandma feeling better. Looks like a good time was had. I'd much rather visit southern Ontario than live here.

Fish Farmer Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 Thanks for sharing Simon. That last picture is something, I stared at that picture and my thoughts went back to my child-hood. Great picture for a living room wall and a screen saver. Picture of a thousand words. That made my day
Joey Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 Glad to hear Ma-in-law is on the mend. Looks like quite the adventure, and looks like Jack won the water fight

That made my day Thanks FF....mum snapped us on Jack's 'secret island' at the bottom of the yard...we often sit out on it and plan the next day. Glad to hear Ma-in-law is on the mend. Looks like quite the adventure, and looks like Jack won the water fight He is evil with a water gun...NO MERCY! Takes after mum completely glad you had a safe and fun trip and that grandma is doing better. That little monster must have had a great time....I don't mean jack Also ooks like the walleye and bass did a good job of greeting you on your return! He bought the little monster with tickets he won at the arcade at Niagra. He named him 'Dave Crick'. LOL...dont know where he pulled that name from...but Dave Crick had to come everywhere with us after that.
adempsey Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 Nothing like making a hospital visit into a fun little adventure! Love the Dave Crick photos, lol! All the best.
fishnsled Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 Nice report Simon and great to hear your mother-in-law is doing better. I like your idea of coming to the city for a few days and the rest of the year in paradise. If it was me I might be able to do the city trips every 2-3 years, maybe longer in between .
GBW Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 Great report Simon. We did the GWL and Niagra Falls stuff this weekend too and only live a few hours away from it, lol.
Leecher Posted July 31, 2012 Report Posted July 31, 2012 I'm glad to hear that your Mother-in-law is doing better Simon WAS GLAD TO BE HOME TO BE HONEST......I CANT HANDLE THE CROWDS FOR LONG THESE DAYS, AND THE DAY AFTER GETTING HOME NORMAL SERVICE RESUMED. I also understand the glad to be home statement.... even though I'm fairly close to the city, I like you, avoid the crowds at all cost Great report and pics!!! Thanks for sharing your trip with us Jacques
