Sandbanks Provincial Park is one of Ellee's favourite parks in the area. A short 35 minutes from Belleville, this is a wonderful park to visit for the day or camp out (although sites go quickly).

Beautiful white sand beaches, trails, and clear waters. It is a great spot to soak in the sunshine and the beauty of the area.

It is also a quick trip to Picton for tasty food, drink, and artsy boutiques.

Picton is such a charming, artsy, and vibrant small town. It has a buzz about it in the warmer months with many unique shops and restaurants.

Be sure to check it out, if you feel the pull!

Let me put it this way...

I am very lactose intolerant but, make an exception once a year to treat myself to a few scoops of Slickers Campfire Cream.

This small batch, local biz is the bees knees, in my opinion. Worth a stomach ache!

Located in Bloomfield and Picton (just a short drive from Belleville).

Check it out, you won't regret it :)

Located on the lake, the Drake is where Eric and Ellee went on one of their first dates. Its fun, quirky, creative design (both interior and exterior), offers a seasonal menu and a view to swoon over.

Be sure to check out the art installations on the property if you visit!

Prince Edward County is well-known for its vineyards. There are plenty of wineries and tours offered. A great way to enjoy a May day and support local businesses to the area.

Another spot to hit up in Picton.

Although we can't attest to the beer, we sure do love the wood-oven pizzas on the patio. Yum, I'm getting hungry thinking about it! 555 has a great staff and friendly owners. We love to support them and hope you do too!
