Loveliest drive: Through a forest, on #4 Prince Edward County before Doolittle Lane, coming into Sophiaburgh from Picton.

Most exciting drive: On Hill Top Road and Army Reserve Road, from South Bay to see the Point Petre Lighthouse. Sign said not for Passenger Vehicles, and it certainly wasn’t but we took it anyways. The pleasant we passed was certainly surprised to see us drive past.

Biggest disappointment: the Point Petre Lighthouse. The original one was torn down in the 70s. My daughter thought we could visit, but I am afraid we couldn’t.

Best surprise: the old barracks at the Picton Airport, where we saw gliders.
Best local museum: Mariners’ Memorial Museum/Fort Kente in South Bay.

Best little town/tourist trap we drove straight through: Bloomsfield

Best tourist trap we stopped at: Lake on the Mountain

Best swimming: Outlet Beach, Sandbanks Provincial Park, even if it was overcast and cool. Some very cool sand sculptures there too.
