kittenmmm's blog post - oh boy...I've even lost time

So, I went to 2K's house yesterday....then ...he had to work so we got on the road by 5:30am. Whoo hoo...off we went happy as clams in high tide.

I'm not sure if I said this but 2K is the balls...lol. He was a wonderful host. We got to use his showers, do our laundry...go to dinner and have a brief tour of the area. He's a wonderful host and just a great guy in general.

So anyway, off we went ....heading due east. The goal was to go to Canada to see Ottawa without snow. The last time I was there, Scott was probably 2 and there was plenty of snow on the ground. We drove on....

We passed into Michigan, saw more corn...no shit. Yada ,yada.

We got to the border and as I was worried, the birth certificates were an issue. We were made to go through customs and immigrations.... after a VERY complete search of my car (in which time the customs guys were sharing some very wry grins and comments....yep...they had to have found the eggs or Lunna's gifts) and then a visit to immigrations, they finally approved us to get into Canada. Oh Mommy's such a genius...and proceeded to follow the signs to "EXIT TO CANADA" which lead to the US.

When asked what to declare I stated "Oh just my stupidity"

The customs officer cracked up and sent me around again! The second time through customs went must quicker..go figure. Like we hadn't spent enough time with them already.

Needless to say we managed to get to Toronto and I called Juicy becuae I was having a hard time finding a room..go figure....

Open arms were offered and here I sit...chlly in her kitchen but very much at home. She and her husband, children and neighbors are so opening and wonderful.

Ju wants us to stay another day so we can see a bit more of the sites around here and we may in fact do that. What a wonderful experience this trip has been. I think we only have a week left but omg....I wouldn't trade this wild trip for anything. How lucky I am to have met the NNer's I've been lucky enough to meet! Not to mention the landscapes and the wonderful experiences.

It's certainly not a trip you could experience every year...or even periodically but I'm thrilled that we were able to offer these memories and experiences to my son. It's something he won't forget.

Well, talk to you all soon as I'm really running on empty. Ju's already in bed so I'm hitting the couch real soon!

love y'all
