a loop needs to be connected


The map shown above, is slowly filling in with the route we are on. Actually, it was the very first map we made through the CAA website when we started researching this trip. We started in our home town of New Hamburg, Ontario and added places along the way until it crashed their website. After some silence, Katrina and I looked at each other, then back at the screen and wondered if we were getting in over our head. It did seem like a long way of going from New Hamburg, to New Hamburg after all. Before closing the frozen CAA website, I took a screen grab, and decided to continue our planning another night.
Fast forward to now, we are one day away from getting back to our starting point. Our loop is almost filled in, we are one checkout away from checking in again at home. We are glad for where we came from, and know thats where we belong. Schedules seem desirable to those who have not one, since we left. Someone even mentioned from one of the backseats yesterday, that they are looking forward to math again. What a wonderful time to return, we are ready and getting closer!

either it was the bright city lights of  Sault Ste. Marie, or the exterior lights on the hotel....either way, it was quite a glow,  and it was hard to sleep.

even with two full thermal presses of coffee on tap up front,  after seeing a  sign that read "Life's too short for bad coffee" I had to pull over and support this business.... and had a pretty smooth indonesian and enjoyed a drive through that did not have a line up out to the main road...


its basic at this point, we head either south, or southeast, and slowly we are heading in the right direction. 



as you can see, we made it to Sudbury, thats a nickel in the skyline, and tomorrow we tour the mine/museum...

Isaiah now has an update to his missing tooth up front, and reaching many new milestones each day, another one of them is being able to swim under water, as seen below!











Today we went to sudbury. Before we left, we went to look for some more cars. We went to a few different stores before we found the ones we wanted. After we got the cars we left for the hotel. When we got there we talked a little bit, then went swimming. When we got back dad had a surprise for us. I got some goggles and Abby and Sam got some toy cars. We ate supper and had mac'n cheese and hot dogs. After supper Sam and me and dad went swimming again. I really like my new goggles. I can dive deep now. I love today.

  1. Hello everyone,
    I hope you all enjoyed the big Nickel and my home town. It will be interesting to hear your thoughts on Sudbury. Looking at your pictures I am very grateful to live in Canada, especially Ontario we do have beautiful terrain. The water is so crystal clear blue, and so fresh looking. Our tress so big and healthy looking, so inviting to wildlife. I think it is nice to visit other places, but home is the best of all. God bless you and I am so happy you are coming home, I have missed you all so much. Welcome back!

  2. Congrats on being able to swim under water and dive deep now Isaiah! (I bet the new googles helped with that a lot!). Maybe you can show us your new diving skills sometime this summer?

    OK - who's missing math? Really?? ;)
