The ice is that dark ice, that will give way soon. Muffin Muncher had a shower, packed, and had a nice breakfast, with well-trained staff. The view from the restaurant was pretty, with pretty skies.

Thursday, breakfast, and home
Breakfast, Thursday morning. It was going to rain. We took off for home.
The ice is that dark ice, that will give way soon. Muffin Muncher had a shower, packed, and had a nice breakfast, with well-trained staff. The view from the restaurant was pretty, with pretty skies.

Our Kingston hotel, dinner, and the view!
To continue our saga, we stayed at the Delta in Kingston on points. It was hubby's idea. We thought we'd go hunt for snowy owls. (You know how well that went! Owl hunting on Wolfe Isl.)
Yes, my friends are off to warmer climes, but we went to Wolfe Isl., Lake Ontario!
The hotel was amazing. Somedays you just have to get away. My cousin is taking off for two weeks in Nassau. We're just not beachy people!
I even took Muffin Muncher along.
The bathroom was interesting. There was a huge shower, NO bath tub, and double sinks.
Then there is the TV. It is hidden in a console.
The view was amazing, even if it was a cold, wintery day. A pair were doing selfies on the frozen docks!
After settling in, I suggested we go and visit my friends. This was the second part of our trip. They made a big decision to sell their home, since they have various health issues.
We popped in and met them in the foyer of their new senior's residence. We had cocktails in their apartment, then took them out to dinner at our hotel.
We had such fun. Hubby and I made them laugh, here he is making another joke, and we shared some old times. They've known me since I was adopted in 1957. They have been acquainted for 60 years, married for 20.
The food was amazing. The bathroom sink was worth a photo, too!
I ought to take a camera class, but the night time view was wonderful, too!
Hubby was reading the room service menu. He insisted that he should order me some popcorn ($4, what the heck). Really! He spoils me rotten.

Wolfe Island Trip 2016 Part 1: Sites and critters
There wasn't much snow, and there was a lot of fudgey road. See my boots!
We had left home at 8:30 to catch the ferry across, and over we went. We rode the Wolfe Isl. FerryWe tootled around a bit (26 min.; 19km), then hubby wanted to stop for a cookie. I suggested we just have lunch, since it was 11:30 and I had forgotten to have some before we left! Lunch in the W.I.P.P., to start the day. We took Muffin Muncher. He had a chat with a little boy just as we left!
We spotted three red-tailed hawks, a tree sparrow, pigeons, geese, a pair of deer, cows, crows, then a horse ,and foal napping! I was so disappointed. But, then, I DID see the Great Horned Owl on the way here. Great Gray Owl Sighting
We traveled 67 km, over 141 minutes, having driven over 100km to get there in the first place! Finally, at 2:30 we hopped back on the ferry to go to the hotel.
