Vacations

After driving most of the day we passed our campground to go into town for some lunch. The town of Munising, Michigan was just a short drive away and had a few choices for restaurants. We found a park

Our main goal on this section of the trip was to take the scenic routes. We didn't have a really long drive for the day so we took a detour to Whitefish Point to see Lake Superior. On the way we found

Our original goal was to race to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore to get a campsite but after realizing that the campgrounds do not have facilities we altered out plan and booked a campsite at Wondering

We checked into the Sleep Inn in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario around 9:00 pm. Apparently the restaurants in town close at 10:00 pm and the only thing in town is pizza. That's what the girl behind the desk

It's hard to believe that anyone lives so far away from a city, but every now and then we would pass a home after a while we decided to pull over at the next random road to let the dogs out. But

We drove for miles passing nothing but trees and when we finally stopped for gas at the first place we found it was out of gas! This can't be good... Just as we were starting to worry we found a truck

We packed up the car and headed to Sault Ste Marie via Sudbery on Highway 400 North. After a while we pulled over to a Tim Horton's for a bathroom break and some caffeine. I was waiting at the car with

We woke up at 8:00 am, this time the dogs were sleeping in, they didn't want to get out of bed but we had breakfast coming in an hour and we wanted to walk them first. As soon as we walked out of the

We pulled into Yorkville and stopped at TRUE, a little restaurant with outdoor seating that looked pretty good. Sandra ran in to make sure they were still open and if we could bring the dogs, they said

Now it's time to try candy bar number three. Hopefully the Crunchie will be unique. Sandra opened the bar and gave it a try, *CRUNCH* it was unique alright! Basically a yellow rectangle of hard crunchy

We found a nice grassy area above he people to watch the falls. Sandra rand down to get a close up photo and I sat with the pups. I'm not big on crowds and the dogs aren't either. While

We didn't want to cross the border because the line back into Canada was huge and all of our clothes, computers, etc. were in the hotel in Toronto. It would really suck if we left and couldn't get back

With all of our shopping done we decided to head to Niagara Falls. We just couldn't get this close and not take the time to see something like that. It was about a 2 hour drive which really isn't that

Next we headed over to the Umbra concept store, they sell some really cool stuff and we had never been to one of their stores, usually we found Umbra stuff in Bed Bath & Beyond or other similar stores.

We drove up through the Bayview area, the concierge recommended it as a nice area of town to visit. There weren't many shops open because of the holiday but it was a nice drive and by the time we made

On the way back we cut through a neighborhood, there was a squirrel (one of the black ones) sitting on his hind legs watching Duke and Goblin drag us closer. He didn't move, this was one of those squirrel

We planned on sleeping in but the dogs got us up at 8:00 am to go chase squirrels. Before we left we decided to double check the FedEx location to see how many blocks it was because we felt like we had

We decided to walk to FedEx to send out my jobs before Monday which was a Civic Holiday in Canada. The FedEx website said it was 1.6 km away so we headed down Bloor Street to have my stuff printed and

While we enjoyed our dinner we started to notice that all of the people walking down the alley way were stopping to look at one specific window display out of several that a store had along the alley It

Our new plan was set, so we headed downstairs to find some dinner. Yorkville is a really great place to stay, everything you need is within walking distance. We tried a few restaurants but hey all wanted
