Toronto Islands: Family outing for July 23-29

The outing of the week as of July 23 featured on my website is Toronto Islands.

This weekend, I did the unthinkable: I decided to take two teens to Toronto Islands... at 1 p.m., on a Saturday, on a bright summer day.

Well, the wait wasn't so bad, 30 minutes. We reached Centre island, walked to Centre island Beach, rented a 2-seater quadricycle, checked Gibraltar Beach, walked to Ward's Island, had a bite at the Rectory Café, a dip at Ward's Beach and an ice cream at the super cool Island Café before catching the Ward's ferry. All in all, six hours of great summer fun.
