Travels of the Agnew Family for 2008.01.01 to 2010.01.31

My sister and brother-in-law who live in Texas decided to take a week and a bit holiday and drive up for American Thanksgiving so they could visit their mom's (Darryl's mom is 91 and my mom is 85). As we are in a weird perverted sense on the way they decided to stop and stay for Sunday night. It was nice that they made time for a visit and to see our house. As we live far apart it'll be strange to see them again in less than two weeks as we'll stop to visit them on our way to Mission. I think the most exciting part of the drive for them was shortly after they crossed the border at Sarnia. There had been a dusting of snow in Michigan but nothing like the 2 to 2 1/2 feet that fell in the Sarnia area last week. They even got to drive on a snow covered road for over 25 kilometres.

With less than a week to our departure date Ed and I have started getting organized to leave. The hot tub has been winterized and piles of stuff are forming as we begin pulling out the items that need to go to the trailer. It's been hard work but we've just about eaten everything that was in the freezer and the fridge is looking pretty bare --- it would be a lot easier if we could take more food stuffs across the border. After a lot of debate Zaph has chosen the toys that will travel south so other than loading his food he's ready to go .... he wanted to take them all of course. Six sleeps to go or maybe five or maybe seven.
