Arrive at North Bay

This was our final leg of our trip to North Bay Ontario.  We took our time getting going this morning and spent some time saying our goodbyes to Kevin and Ruth. Before leaving

Nipigon to Matheson Ontario

 It was a beautiful morning when we woke up.  About 13C which is warm for this time of year.  Charlie and I went for a little walk on the beach at our overnight spot.  The beach reminds me of what you would

Vermilion Bay to Nipigon Ontario

I was thinking about this blog and realized that this will always be written in past tense.  The stuff I post today will have actually happened yesterday so

Ontario finally

We got up early and packed the MH.  We were on the road by 8:00 am.

Abby waving goodbye

We headed to Winnipeg to meet our daughter Kaitlyn and her husband Greg and Gregs mom Elaine and sister Stacy.   We all had tickets to watch "The Book of Mormon".  Its a musical spoof of the Mormon religion. The show is quite questionable in some of the content and some might find it offensive, but on the whole, it was very entertaining.

no pictures allowed while show was on

After the show Sue and I and Kaitlyn and Grace returned to the motorhome which we left at the Deacons Corner truck stop and headed east.

We felt rather small in the line up

We even followed a beer truck for a while.

We bent the rules of RV travel and drove for about an hour in the dark.  That is something I don't like to do because the road has a lot of hills and curves.  To top it off we ran into a little rain which made the windshield glare bad.  We won't do that again unless we have to.

We are parked at the Vermilion Bay airport parking lot for the night.

Ironically this is the same spot our friends Kevin and Ruth parked a few days ago.  Hope to get an early start tomorrow.

Last day in Reston

Today was another family day with our son Derek his wife Nichole and our grandkids.  I spent time cleaning and filling water in the motorhome.
Derek showed me his drone and flew it for a while.  It is just a small one but reacts very well, except in the wind. He said he paid about 80 bucks for it but it doesn't have a camera.

Derek and his drone

After lunch Derek, Abby, Charlie and I went for a walk on a local walking trail.  It was a beautiful day so the walk was very enjoyable.  I need to get walking again like I did last winter so this was a good start.

About 72 F.

Pipestone Creek

Along the way we saw lots of sunflower fields.

We picked one and you can see the size of it compared to Abby's hand.

I forgot to post a picture of the map of our travels on Friday so here it is.  

Tomorrow we will leave Reston around 8 am and head to Winnipeg on the first leg of our journey east.  We have a fun day planned with more of our family so meet us back here tomorrow to hear about it.
