I also choose an image as the mascot photo for our trip and this is it! Last year we so loved Lake Erie and Ontario the kids and I decided to embark on a Tour O' the Lakes! I really felt like we missed out on the experience of camping in Canada as well so we'll be heading to seven provincial parks in Ontario. The photo above is from the halfway point in our trip at beautiful Bruce Peninsula Provincial Park. Any time you can combine beautiful water and hiking for me, I'm sold!
We will also have countless other stops at museums, parks, and strange places along the way. We're leaving considerably earlier this year so we can attend a family reunion I just learned about last year. I'm also hoping to meet up with several friends along the way and of course Grammie will be traveling along side us for 2 weeks too!
We'll be leaving in a month, but the preparations are starting much much sooner. With this being our fourth summer trip, I feel like I'm getting closer to perfecting the preparation and packing process. I was a girl scout and still live by the "Be Prepared" motto, but I do err on the overpacking side. We're changing it up this year in hopes to downsize all the containers, boxes and bags. We are lucky that Dave will be traveling with us this year for 11 days so we'll have to actually have some leg room for him!
If anyone wants to ride along with us, please pack up and come along! See you on the road!
