From August 12 to August 21, 2005 my father and I went on a road trip to Ontario. These photos more or less chronicle that journey.

We were quite lucky that the beach wasn't as crowded where we were. A brief rain that happened just before we arrived might have been to thank.

After many hours swimming and sun bathing, Dad and I brought out the cameras and took photos of the sunset.

And we took a lot of photos. I think I might have taken 100 photos in a 30 minute period.

The glass floor was a new addition since I'd been there before. I fought hard against my fear of heights and managed to get a slot of my feet over the unnerving drop.

Later that night, Mike and I had dinner at a pub close to his place and then returned to his place so I could see what working for IBM provides.

The next morning we left Toronto and stopped at a service center for a brief hornet infested lunch.
