Departure (or the beginning of the madness)

Off we go for parts unknown (at least to some of us) and the two most interesting pieces of advice that we have gotten so far are: don't pick u[ any hitch hikers and don't get married in Vegas. Hmmmm... are people trying to tell us something? High point of the raod down was the sighting of a pack of hot OPP officers in Parry Sound. K requests that next time there is such a sighting older sisters must make sure all parties were able to enjoy:)

Road down to TO was perfect; weather was cool, traffic was light and almost non-existant until Barrie, and drivers for the most part considerate. Music in the car depended on who was behind the wheel or who had won the pervious thumb war. Our bobble head moose, newly christened 'Bruce', joining in the car dancing along the way. Soon enough trees and lakes give way to steel and stone, almost there. Made in down and met up with the other long lost sister at Union, hugs and squeals all around.

Decided to head to the harbour to view the tall ships coming in for the 'Race to Save the Lakes'. The sight of them made us want to play pirate, or at least get kidnapped by one, but then you have to remember the cramped conditions on board, sardine hammocks and the head over the bow; maybe not :)

After playing around at the harbour we met up with our uncles to wish them a very happy (early) anniversary). Found out that they had a perfect view for the G20 riots and general mayhem from their apt. Later, we went to the Mongolian BBQ for dinner, so delicious but not quite enough spice. After hugs and kisses all around it was time to navigate our way to A's house in Niagara so we can party for Canada Day.
