We' off!

Day 1
Kilometers traveled; 600.

“Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit,” The Glee Cast version of Don’t Stop Believin’ booms out of the radio at us as we cross the Barrie city line. I sit back, smile and think this is going to be good, very good! After a hectic day of last minute packing and coping with the excitement of two little boys, sitting in the car is feeling really nice. This is a good thing as it’s a position I’ll be assuming for the next 2 weeks! The boys settle in to a movie. When it ends, just after Perry Sound, Will looks out the window and declares, “Well, this is something you don’t see every day!” He grins and asks for his camera. He and Nate take turns taking pictures of the rocks and trees out the window along with a healthy number of silly shots of each other’s nostrils and eyelashes. The drive to Sudbury goes smoothly until we reach our dinner destination at Subway. As we enter the store Nate announces to the whole place that, “The Subway smells like throw up.” As Ken and I are explaining that saying that is not polite Will interjects, “actually Mom, it really kinda does smell like throw up.” A few hours later and we arrive to one of my favourite late night arrival destinations, Casa Paciocco. Where else can you arrive at 10:30 at night to freshly baking pizza and perfectly chilled wine and beer. 12:00am and we are finally tucked in ready for a well earned sleep.
