Living it Up
This post may be a wee late in coming, but WE MADE IT! Currently we are living, eating, breathing and smelling Ottawa.
We had nearly no problems on the drive, we had anticipated arriving Wednesday into Ottawa, but bad weather from North Bay prevented us from making it the whole way, so we rested in Pembroke. It was close to blizzarding out there and had a very hard time seeing the road when there was traffic (which was often). So Thursday it was that we were slated to arrive in Ottawa, and arrive we did.

Prairie Driving
Well, we’re on Day 3 officially today, heading out to Winnipeg from Regina. The roads from Edmonton to Regina were great on Friday. We attempted to go visit Andy’s grandparents in Truax (south-west of Regina), got 10 minutes out of town and couldn’t see the road anymore because there was so much drifting snow. It was actually kind of freaky when big semi trucks would appear out of what seemed like nowhere only 10 feet in front of you. Thankfully they were on their side of the road still.

It’s Beginning to Feel A Lot Like Christmas…
It may have been over a month since we updated, but that just means we’ve been extra-busy. Right? Well, we haven’t been short of adventures, at any rate. There has been a lot that’s happened, especially in the last couple of weeks here.
We’ve pretty much finished Christmas shopping for Andy’s side of the family. That was in part because we knew we’d be in Regina last weekend for Walter’s wedding, and we could bring as many as possible at that time. Just a few stocking stuffers left, and we’ll have half the Christmas shopping done!
Sorry, no pictures
Well, we’ve officially made it to the States and so far we have survived. The State Parks that we’re camping at have been really nice, despite that their washrooms don’t carry soap. We’ve been fortunate in the bug department too, as there have been relatively few. Things have been going well, overall.
