Birthday Girl

 

Just after the 4th of July we celebrated our niece Danielle's birthday by going up to the little town of Gravenhurst, about 45 miles north of Barrie. We picked up Rick and headed north to Lake Muskoka and the famous century old steamships that ply the spectacular lake and cottage region.

 

We met Dani and Tyler at a new place called The Old Mill right on the main street of Gravenhurst. This place is a small buffet place that serves brunch items for a pretty low price. It was all you could eat for the senior rate (us old guys) of $7.95 CDN which was a little over six dollars US.

The most unique item were eggs Benedict not usually found in the buffet line. They were excellent! And I was sworn to secrecy as to the total number of eggs Benny we all consumed before giving Dani her birthday presents, below.

The restaurant is right on the quaint main street just to the left of where I got this shot of the old post office. It's unusual to have a free standing post office today as most of the Shopper's drug stores now have a postal service right in the store ... a pretty efficient way to do business.

A super day was had by all and we headed back to Barrie to nap off the substantial breakfast; with Tyler and Dani going back to their home in Bracebridge.
