When we decide to make a big trip out of it
Lunch on Lake Superior
After driving most of the day we passed our campground to go into town for some lunch. The town of Munising, Michigan was just a short drive away and had a few choices for restaurants. We found a park
Whitefish Point, Michigan
Our main goal on this section of the trip was to take the scenic routes. We didn\’t have a really long drive for the day so we took a detour to Whitefish Point to see Lake Superior. On the way we found
Back in the USA
Our original goal was to race to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore to get a campsite but after realizing that the campgrounds do not have facilities we altered out plan and booked a campsite at Wondering
Sault Ste Marie, Ontario
We checked into the Sleep Inn in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario around 9:00 pm. Apparently the restaurants in town close at 10:00 pm and the only thing in town is pizza. That\’s what the girl behind the desk
Rest stops along the way
It\’s hard to believe that anyone lives so far away from a city, but every now and then we would pass a home
after a while we decided to pull over at the next random road to let the dogs out. But
Maybe a Moose?
We drove for miles passing nothing but trees and when we finally stopped for gas at the first place we found it was out of gas! This can\’t be good… Just as we were starting to worry we found a truck
On the road to Sault Ste Marie
We packed up the car and headed to Sault Ste Marie via Sudbery on Highway 400 North. After a while we pulled over to a Tim Horton\’s for a bathroom break and some caffeine. I was waiting at the car with
Our last day in Toronto
We woke up at 8:00 am, this time the dogs were sleeping in, they didn\’t want to get out of bed but we had breakfast coming in an hour and we wanted to walk them first.
As soon as we walked out of the
Dinner in Toronto’s Yorkville
We pulled into Yorkville and stopped at TRUE, a little restaurant with outdoor seating that looked pretty good. Sandra ran in to make sure they were still open and if we could bring the dogs, they said
Candy Bar #3
Now it\’s time to try candy bar number three. Hopefully the Crunchie will be unique. Sandra opened the bar and gave it a try, *CRUNCH* it was unique alright! Basically a yellow rectangle of hard crunchy
A Closer Look at Niagara Falls
We found a nice grassy area above he people to watch the falls. Sandra rand down to get a close up photo and I sat with the pups. I\’m not big on crowds and the dogs aren\’t either.
While
Niagara Falls
We didn\’t want to cross the border because the line back into Canada was huge and all of our clothes, computers, etc. were in the hotel in Toronto. It would really suck if we left and couldn\’t get back
The Town of Niagara
With all of our shopping done we decided to head to Niagara Falls. We just couldn\’t get this close and not take the time to see something like that. It was about a 2 hour drive which really isn\’t that
Shopping in Toronto
Next we headed over to the Umbra concept store, they sell some really cool stuff and we had never been to one of their stores, usually we found Umbra stuff in Bed Bath & Beyond or other similar stores.
Lululemon
We drove up through the Bayview area, the concierge recommended it as a nice area of town to visit. There weren\’t many shops open because of the holiday but it was a nice drive and by the time we made
Those Crazy Squirrels
On the way back we cut through a neighborhood, there was a squirrel (one of the black ones) sitting on his hind legs watching Duke and Goblin drag us closer. He didn\’t move, this was one of those squirrel
Our Trip to FedEx
We planned on sleeping in but the dogs got us up at 8:00 am to go chase squirrels. Before we left we decided to double check the FedEx location to see how many blocks it was because we felt like we had
A walk in Toronto
We decided to walk to FedEx to send out my jobs before Monday which was a Civic Holiday in Canada. The FedEx website said it was 1.6 km away so we headed down Bloor Street to have my stuff printed and
Window Shopping
While we enjoyed our dinner we started to notice that all of the people walking down the alley way were stopping to look at one specific window display out of several that a store had along the alley It
