5 Days Left of Summer

I have exactly 5 days left of summer. I say this, because

on Sept 14 at 11:10 am, Owen and I begin our epic

journey northward. From that point on, things like t-shirts,

shorts, warm days at the beach and sandals will officially

be a thing of the past... We are traveling up to Moose

Factory, Ontario, Canada to stay with my parents

for a few weeks while Dave is (STILL) doing his "away"

rotations. (Six weeks left! But who's counting?)

This little journey will include:

-Two days

-Two flights

-One night in a hotel (in Timmins, ON - birthplace of

Shania Twain! Oh yeah!)

-Rental car

-Taxi ride

-Bus ride

-Train ride on the Polar Bear Express (because there

are no roads up there)

-Most likely a few tantrums and possibly one or two

doses of benadryl (umm.. jk... kind of)

- We'll finish things off with a water taxi ride from the

mainland (Moosonee)to the island of Moose Factory.

Remote enough? It shouldn't be as complicated as it

sounds :) especially since my parents are meeting us at

the airport in Timmins and taking us the rest of the way

there. An added bonusis that my sister and her little boy

are making the journey as well! I meet up with her in Toronto.

I'm excited to see Moose Factory! My parents have lived there

for about 2 years now, and I'm looking forward to seeing the

place the call home (for the moment anyway!)

Maybe I'll learn how to make my own moccasins while I'm up

there.
