We took a trip to our favorite place...Canada. But this time we didn't stop there we just continued to travel. See if you can keep up with me as I explain our trip.
Day 1- Kids and Rachel travel to Canada, arriving at night. Get rental car(they upgraded us for free and it was an amazing car with 2 DVD players and satellite stereo and navigation) and go to Auntie Sues house. Sleep.
Day 2- Kids and Rachel wake up and drive to Buffalo, NY to pick up Garett from Airport. All Travel to Palmyra, NY. Joesph Smith farm house, Sacred Grove, Temple and the Hill Cumorah Pageant. It was amazing to see all these historical sites and the pageant was awesome. I totally recommend it to all. Then Travel south for about an hour to hotel. Sleep.
Day 3- Travel to Somerset, PA. Such a pretty place. Along the way we went Blueberry picking and had a picnic at a park. It was a great little road trip. Why middle of nowhere PA, well Garett is in a wedding of our friends. We got there just in time for him to realize he forgot a white shirt and run to Walmart before the rehearsal dinner while the Rachel and kids went to our vacation rental condo and checked it out. AWESOME! Then a bonfire and brides parents house, which also included firefly catching and rolling down grassy hills. Sleep
Day 4- Wedding at 1(right during nap time) Garett was at the front and I was stuck with all the kids. I thought they were the worst behaved kids of all time but after the wedding and at reception I had multiple people come and tell me how awesome they were. WHAT?!? Then to reception that was at a barn. Most memorable part was when Mallory convinced a friend to touch the electric fence. Mallory had boots on so it lessened the shock, her friend did not. While we were at the wedding Auntie Sues flew into town and was waiting for us at condo. We dropped kids off and headed back to wedding for a little date night. Garett is a shy dancer but he really can dance. We have taken multiple dance lessons and he has found his beat but now I just got to get him to do it in public. It was still fun to be out with out kids. Sleep.
Day 5- Wedding Brunch at Brides Parents house, which included hunting for crawdads, baseball and rolling down more hills. Garett flew home this day cause he had to be back to work. Sad face. Rest of the day we just played at condo.
Day 6- Auntie Sues, Rachel and kids. Checked out covered bridges, mine survivor site, falling waters and got homemade pie.
Day 7- Went to Johnstown where all of Garett relatives came to when they immigrated from Welsh. Very interesting place. Home of Cambridge Steel company. Had a huge flood that killed 2200 people. Lots of history. We went to 2 museums, 3 grave yards, 3 old original houses that they lived in. It was a great day.
Day 8- Travel back to Canada. On the way we went to 2 more cemeteries. Return the amazing rental car.
Day 9- Went to the island!!! We have gone to the island every time we visited and every time it has rained on us. We have wanted to rent a 4 person bike but it was always raining. This time it didn't. We had so much fun with the bike and then the beach and then the playground and the ferry boats are always a fun little ride. Great day and we finished with fish and chips from my favorite spot.
Day 10- We went to the new aquarium in Toronto. It was a neat aquarium but so crowded that it was hard for me to enjoy. We made up for the crowds by having street meat for lunch!
Day 11- Wake at 315 to make it to airport only to have the airline mess up and miss my flight then they re-book me to another that didn't leave for 10 hours. It was the worst travel day of my life. Horrible. Want to cry just thinking about all that went wrong.
