Anniversary Weekend

Our 6th Anniversary was October 3, just a couple of days after I got back from Britain. It fell on Saturday this year, so it felt extra special to celebrate on the same day of the week as we got married.
We spent the day in the Owen Sound area, an area we have visited before and always enjoyed. We had actually planned to spend the night at Waterview on the Bay at Colpoy's Bay near Wiarton, however, a booking screw up messed up those plans so it ended up being a day trip after all. We did have a lovely day though.
We started with a short hike in the Ingliss Falls Conservation Area. The colours weren't spectacular - we were a bit early - however, we really enjoyed the time outdoors.
Trish had done some research into the Owen Sound Salmon Tour, and had found out that the salmon head upriver each year right at this time and are quite a sight!
We didn't see any of them actually jumping, however, there were definitely salmon in the river and we spent quite a bit of time on a little bridge, as well as right on the side of the stream, watching them struggle through the babbling waters. It was really fascinating!
After our little hotel disappointment, we drove home, then cooked a deliciously yummy steak dinner to celebrate.
This salted caramel Baileys was our special after dinner anniversary treat. Oh, yum. A very nice, and well deserved treat indeed!
