When in Kingston,
don't miss the Sunset Ceremony
Just a few lines to thank all at TTS for leading my husband and me to Kingston, Ontario, this August just passed (see TTS May 2009).
Kingston had been on our 'to do' list for many years, but although we live in Ontario we'd never made it! Why had we waited so long? (Children studying and ultimately living in different Canadian cities, I guess.) But Kingston was wonderful: the Fronte-nac Club Inn is just as Ann described (and their breakfast is fabulous!), the surrounding scenery is beautiful, the dining scene delicious and vibrant and the shopping great.
Just a note for those of you thinking you may visit next summer. Fortunately we checked the Fort Henry website before we made our arrangements and discovered that the historic site holds a Sunset Ceremony every Wednesday night during July and August. It seemed worthwhile making plans around this event … and how pleased we were that we did!
The ceremony was a highlight of our stay: imagine colourful uniforms, rousing military music, a precision drill and artillery manoeuvres, a 'battle' and finally a fireworks display … all in a magnificent fort setting. Please don't miss this rousing event if Kingston is in your plans next summer. Details at www.forthenry.com
