On the Go, In the Know: Oh Canada!

It's been a while since I posted, so let me try to catch you up. We left my aunt's house to head out to Niagra Falls the night before our trailer was ready so that we could be at the RV centre bright and early. I applaud our efforts, but the falls called us, so we spent a couple hours with them.

What a fabulous day to check out the falls! It was cold, it was late fall, it was pretty empty. There were other tourists there, but not many. Since we're not crowd-loving folk, this was a perfect opportunity for us. And my goodness, what a sight to see! And to hear! Those falls are LOUD!!! Very much so worth the $15 we paid in parking, plus whatever it cost us in souvenirs. We had a great time there and the kids enjoyed learning about the falls, how much the land is receding, how the city uses the falls for electricity, and just how powerful nature is. But we did have to leave and get our trailer. So exciting--it was actually ready a full day before we had been told it would be, so that was an early Christmas present. A huge thanks to everyone at Taylor Coach!

The 8th was a cold and snowy day in Millgrove, Ontario. And the forecast to get back into the states was not pretty. Feet upon feet of snow in the Great Lakes areas. Hmmm.... We had planned on spending the night on their lot so that whatever questions popped up in our first day/night of using the trailer, we could get them answered in person. With that forecast, though, we busted through our orientation and headed out. It was a truly rough day for all involved. We did not do lunch before picking up the trailer, since it was only about 11, and I didn't want to get dinner until we were back in the States, but that meant that we didn't end up eating until about 9:30 that night. Unhappy campers. But we had a trailer!!!! The Wal-Mart we had planned on staying at overnight did not allow that, so we had to push on from there. Fortunately there was a Meijer just down the road that did allow us to stay. Yeah!!! We made the trip back to my parents' house in CO in just 4 driving days. We needed to drop off some tent camping items that we just wouldn't need any more. And it made for a great landing pad so that we could get our act together in the trailer.

Moving In

I know you haven't stuck with me this long for nothing. Here are some pics! I spent a couple days buying some organization stuff for the trailer and then using it. We've got a bunch of stuff! But the guys at Taylor Coach rock the llama's socks, and we've got places for everything! Oh, and we spent some really cold nights on the road, but the trailer kept us comfy and cozy. LOVING IT!!!!
