Michelle's Northern Adventures, Day Four

Well, I'm back. I went North and I made it back in one piece, more or less. I'm actually kinda missing my voice, since I seem to have come down with a mild case of laryngitis and I keep losing my voice. Not fun.

Last night, we stayed in Larder Lake with Andrew's (my cousin's husaband) aunt and uncle. I ended up sitting up and talking with his cousin for about two hours, even though my voice was already starting to go. We're close in age and we had a lot in common, so that was nice.

This morning we had breakfast there, really yummy blueberry pancakes, and then headed out. We managed to get ahead of the huge storm that brewing, which was good because a small tornado hit Larder Lake after we left. Luckily, we were gone by then, because that would not have been fun.

The drive was long, we stopped for lunch and then at a park later, so that the kids could run off some energy, but it was still a draining experience. Which might be why I slept for a good part of it. What can I say, I'm like a big kid.

My only complaint is that I went North and I didn't see a moose. I got a stuffed moose and I saw moose warning signs and a few pictures of mooses, but no moose. Sigh.

We're home now, or rather back in Brantford, and in a few days (Friday), I'll be home home. Which'll be nice, since I'll have been gone almost three weeks by then. Still, for all that it was a really long drive, it was definitly worth it.

Even if I didn't get to see a moose. Oh, well, I guess I'll just have to do it again sometime, hmm?
