Saturday. Last weekend we drove 4 hours to Tobermory. Then we took a one-hour tour cruise that takes us to shipwrecks and we were drop-off at Flowerpot Island.
This is a 15 minute hiked from the drop-off point (Beachy Cove).
Hubby and son trying out rock climbing? Naaaah! They were just posing for the camera.
We stayed at Summer House Park with a great view of Miller Lake.
After dinner, we attempted to catch the sunset at Singing Sands, Dorcas Bay.
Sunday. Kids had fun paddling even though its another cold day.
On our way home, we stopped by at Lion's Head, Isthmus Bay...
and another detour to Inglis Falls, Owen Sound...
Do check out Junnie's blog... and more pictures here.

sarap mamasyal jan ah!
Traveling with kids is really healthy! you create a lot of fun memories for them. :)
the flower pot picture looks like a replica of the one you posted when you were still planning to go, except that you're right there in this one.
Hi Ethel, Denden and Neng,
Thanks! It was a great weekend and wish we could have stayed longer.
Hi Toni,
My kids still complain about the long drive... but hopefully they will learn to appreciate our road trips when they are a little bit older.
Hi Evi,
Yup! There are more hiking trails in this island that will give us a view from the top, but we opted not to do it since we have kids.
sa uulitin....
Hi Junnie,
definitely...
wow, nice place! Looked like you guys had fun.
Just curious, why is it called the Flowerpot island? Were there plenty of flowers around?
Thanks for sharing your pics,JO.
Hi Joy,
The rock formation is the flowerpot... there used to be 3 of them... now its down to 2 due to erosion.
"The key to the scenery of Flowerpot Island and, in fact most of the Bruce Peninsula, is the dolomite bedrock. This type of limestone has resulted in many special features including the "flowerpots," caves, raised beaches and surface etchings.
Dolomite is a soft rock that dissolves in water. As a consequence, its surface wears like melting ice."
Hi Jo,
How's the family doing? I like the rock climbing pic. Regards to Mike and the family.
I'll a host our next lunch or picnic next month with Junnie & Mitzi. I'll start to scout for a place na.
Hi William,
There's still more to see at Bruce Peninsula... we could go to Sauble beach for our next picnic.
Hi Jo,
I have been there in Tobermory last 1991. Wala akong madaming pics. Hindi pa uso ang digicam noon;lol. Maganda nga doon.
