Easter Break on the Beach

Knowing I had ten days before my last exam of third year, that my siblings were off school and work, and that my mom would have Friday free due to the holidays, my little sister and I scrambled to plan a family trip.

We checked the weather forecast (Friday would be gorgeous but Saturday rainy), found a hotel open off-season, and mapped the routes we would take. Only then did we let everyone else in on our plans, and it went off without a hitch. 

A BBQ lunch was packed, snacks bought, and pyjamas selected, and then we were off! Check-in was late, so our first stop (after Timmies and washroom breaks) was hiking on the Bruce Trails!

My sharp-eyed mom spotted a snake while we were walking!

Then we found a cliff we wanted to climb, which we had climbed (with my dad) the last time we came by. Gotta keep up those traditions, y'know?

A few minutes later, we emerged onto our favourite view! The splendid grotto!

And proceeded to explore and then picnic.

After checking into and resting at the hotel, we headed to a beach ten minutes away that my sister had found called Singing Sands beach–and they really do sing! I'm not sure what causes it, but its ethereal and lovely. We had a BBQ there and watched the gorgeous sunset and beautifully bright stars.

Hope you had a great Easter holiday! Comment below and tell me how it went!
