We left for our big road trip after watching a couple of sets of the Federer-Djokovic (we're big Djok fans, although it's hard to cheer against classy Roger, even when he's wearing his dorky tuxedo shorts) final and made it as far as Sudbury after getting stuck in traffic - who knew there were that many cottagers heading north to Sudbury? We pulled into the motel at 10:30pm, fed the kids and they were asleep by 11pm. They slept until 4:30am with barely a peep. We may sell our house and move into a motel. After a feed, we hit the road at 5am and made it to Thunder Bay by 3:30pm. With Kate pumping and feeding from bottles in the back seat, we only needed stops for diaper changes and leg stretching, so it wasn't bad. The kids didn't get restless until the last hour or so. And we had a beautiful day for the very scenic drive along the shores of Lake Superior.
Upon arrival here, the kids turned pretty crazy. They were both pretty inconsolable all evening and slept restlessly last night. Even this morning, they're both still a little off kilter. Our morning Mariposa coffee was replaced with a stop at the Robin's Donuts, where I had the T-Bay donut specialty - a Persian (which were a big hit at our wedding - I love that Wikipedia actually has an entry on the Thunder Bay Persian!).
Definitely a lot chillier up here, getting down to around freezing at night, and drizzly. The weather report says there's a chance of snow flurries later in the week. And Kate doesn't understand why I never wanted to move here.
