My 'Story'
-- for lack of better words (pg 2)-

I credit my mom for first introducing me to the 1000 Islands Region. She says we didn't have much growing up, but I remember she always made everything we did seem special. We would go up to Gananoque on the off-season (because rates were cheaper) and spend a weekend there. We would get a package deal with the Blinkbonnie Hotel, for lodging and tickets to a live theatre performance (which we always enjoyed) and usually tickets for a boat cruise.
But the deal was for Saturday night.

So, usually we would find a place to eat a nice dinner in Alexandria Bay, drive around and see what to 'do', and end up finding a place to stay for the night, or spend it in the car.
On Saturday, we would take in some time browsing at the stores in town, or going into Kingston, which is nearby, and doing something there. Whatever we did it was, to me, a very special time. Those memories still occupy much of my current thoughts, and I still seek refuge in Gananoque each summer to escape the 'rat-race life' I lead sometimes and to relax.

Once I was introduced to Gananoque and the 1000 Island Region, I started visiting there often. As a young, restless artist, I found the peaceful, quiet atmosphere to be soothing and relaxing and I sought the opportunity to visit there as often as I could.

I went there on my honeymoon and shared it with my wife. We brought friends and they brought friends.
