Canada Day is July 1st and this year, the family planned a road trip. After picking up the two youngest from the oldest's apartment on Friday morning, Simone and hubby picked up the third oldest from Oshawa. And they were off.
Very, very slowly.
Yes, the traffic was bad on the 401.
But they made their way to Ottawa, more or less. Unfortunately, Ottawa was a mess. A warren of one way streets was made even worse by road closures in honor of Canada Day and, later, in preparation for the William and Kate extravaganza. Still, the family wound their way through the streets and, eventually found the new home of the second oldest. He was moving in with his girlfriend.
Their new home, a lovely loft in the downtown core, was packed solid with belongings. Precious little floor space but this did not dim their enthusiasm in the least little bit. They had their very own apartment!
The group went out to dinner at Lonestar after an extenuating drive out in the boonies to return the moving truck, which begged the question "Were there no car rental places IN Ottawa?" After a hearty bout of spitballs and the question: do boys EVER grow up (no!), it was time to get back on the road and head for Montreal.
Whew!
