Your favourite day trips? [Travel]

2012 Aug 3
The long weekend is here! What are your favourite day trips within an hour drive, foodie destination or otherwise? I usually head to Prince Edward County but that's more than an hour and I stay overnight. Suggestions for spots out of town but closer are welcome, let's cap it at an hour of driving.

... favourite day trip ?

Doing my weekends at The Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre.

Lousy food. Not even good enough to write up in the Buzz section of OF.

Oh well.

We did a weekend in Gananoque recently - but you could also do it as a day trip. It's about an hours drive.

There is a great pub where we had lunch called the Stonewater Pub and Irish Eatery. They have many local microbrews and great food/atmosphere.

They also have a "fancy" restaurant called the Athlone Inn where we had dinner. The food is contemporary french cuisine and is delicious.

Book yourself on the 2 hour cruise around the Thousand Islands and you have a great day out!

Incidentally, you can also stay at both places mentioned above.
