Going, going, gone.

It's been a long time coming but we finally headed off today on our cross-Canada adventure. It took 4 hours to finish packing and 1 hour for the kids to say goodbye to their friends. We won't be gone forever but I guess it seems like that when you're a kid.....

Notice my red lug bag on the front seat?


We'd only been on the road for 90 minutes when we had to stop for lunch but back in the car, we rocked out to some tunes provided by a friend, snacked, played on our iPods, played a rousing game of "Beep" (more about that game later) and listened to Peter educate us on slag.

We arrived at our first stop, Sudbury, ON, and went hunting for the Big Nickel. (Fortunately it was easier to find than the milk and margarine that I sent Peter out for after we checked into our hotel....)

We'll be leaving bright and early tomorrow morning, heading west, and doing some camping. I'll be sure to check back in with an update when we return to civilization.....
