Trip to Windsor, Ontario...

We loaded up the children and visited Canada on Friday, 23rd October. There's a South African street food restaurant and shop that's recently opened in Windsor, and so we thought we'd head over there to support this new business. We enjoyed boerewors rolls and ribs as well as refreshing Appletiser. It was awesome!

We also went to a lovely coffee shop, a quilt and fabric shop for Candace, and Jackson Park, where we all had a great time outdoors. This park has a wonderful memorial to the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), complete with replica Spitfire and Hurricane aircraft mounted as if they're flying in formation. There is also a monument to Robert Burns, the national poet of Scotland, and the Queen Elizabeth II sunken gardens. 

We drove home via the newly opened Gordie Howe Bridge after a lovely few hours across the Detroit River in the friendly country of Canada. :)
