Here's more of the cool iron (Even Canadian :) ) that was at this cruise!

And yet more... :)

There were so many clean cars here...and I ended up talking with a lot of folks (surprise, I know!)

Here's more!

Even more including two outstanding Oldsmobiles!

A neat 1967 original owner Beaumont...and a few more cars!

And Keith's Corvette...and the last shot, the cars pulling out when the show was finished :)

Of course, when in Canada, one must do what the Canadians do :)


Go here (It was conveniently close to the car show)!

Part Eight, Trip to Niagara Falls, Canadian side, of course!-May 29th

Our gracious hosts, Keith and Dale drove us to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls (a few hour drive each way from their place).



It was amazing to see...words cannot describe the volume of water that flows over the falls every second!


The horseshoe side is the Canadian side (closest to you in the pictures)...and the straight waterfall is the American side




Enjoy!

Two more pictures from up top on the Canadian side :)

And a few more cell phone pictures, too! :)

Part Nine, Trip to the Lift Locks-May 30th (Holly's Birthday)

Among going to many cool places in and around Omemee and seeing a lot of Keith and Dale's family housing dating back close to 200 years, Keith and Dale took us to the Peterborough Lift Locks...what a marvel to see!

The evening of the 30th, Keith and Dale treated us to dinner to celebrate Holly's 28th birthday at the Keg Restaurant :)


The next morning we got up early and headed back down to Pennsylvania to stay at Benny's place again, before heading back to Philadelphia...and catching our flight home


Like I said above, we saw some really cool historical housing. There seemed to be a Victorian farmhouse every few feet all over the area, but Dale said that they were spaced out about every 100 acres :)


Here's an example of an abandoned one (rarity) from the cell phone

Oh...and a fairly famous guy was raised in Omemee, too! Neil Young! Neil occasionally plays benefits to raise money for the area as well...too cool!


This was his childhood residence. We bought a book here in AZ, and brought it up for Keith and Dale :)

Part Ten, Last day in Pennsylvania-June 1st



Benny was gracious enough (again) to let us stay at his cabin for the night. We had a great dinner at a converted schoolhouse and then hit the sack.


The next morning we got up early and headed back down towards Philly so we could drop off the rental car-and get to where we needed to be-and not have to rush.


But, we had to make one more stop :)


Sam Scardino and Lynn, Holly and I had a great breakfast before we headed to the airport. Sam treated us to a great meal- then showed us around Souderton (briefly). We'll have more time next time, Sam, we promise!


Here's the group...and one of Sam's cool Chevies!

Then, it was time to get on the plane....and fly home.


We hope you enjoyed the trip pictures as much as we enjoyed sharing them with you!

Blythe Visit
 

It was definitely a pleasure having the Blythes up to Canada for a visit. Everything, including the weather, fell into place so well that it couldn't have been planned any better. You folk are welcome back any time. The pictures are great too.

Keith-like I said many times we were there....thank you making us feel like part of your wonderful family :):beers:

Glad you and your family enjoyed your stay up here Bruce.

loved your trip!! So glad Holly enjoyed

Nice '69 SS. :3gears:

He's owned it a long time!

Thank You Blythes
 

Bruce you have done a great job of sharing your family vacation with us. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to find and view your posting.
It sure is great seeing the Architecture and Design of original Eastern America as compared to the Western history. Even tho I've lived in the East it was certainly good to see again.
Happy B.D. Holly :HollyRocks:
Welcome Home to all of you and I must say you guys take some great SELFIES.
