Going away party 4/1

Thanks to all who attended our party to celebrate our pending departure on road trip.  It was great to see people from all parts of our lives come together and have a good time.  It was a good reminder of how fortunate we are to have such a wonderful group of people in our lives.  A big shoutout to Pete and Courtney for sneaking back over in the am and cleaning up the basement while we were sleeping.  What an amazing change of emotions from dreading the cleanup as we walked down to ecstatic that someone cleaned everything up.  We then had a good time trying to figure out who could have done it.  

Cheer!

Kingston, NB

After leaving Quebec we had planned on staying in Montreal the next night, but after driving into the city we weren’t feeling like we wanted to try and figure out another large city that wasn’t as cool as Quebec.  We headed southwest further to a smaller community named Kingston in New Brunswick.  We arrived on July 1st which is Canada Day, the same as our 4th of July.  The spot we found on Overlander had a nice bathroom, was right on Lake Ontario, and had a plug which I plugged our UPS battery and also the van into to bring up the charge since we decided to stay 2 nights.  We walked down to the park where the fireworks were going to be let off and first went to a place that was a $20 cover that included a drink with chips and salsa (Pace).  We sat down and waited to see if they could come up with a table for us to sit at.  After waiting for 20 minutes we changed venues to a place that wasn’t as crowded and didn’t have a cover charge.  It was a good fi...

This was the most expensive Elks so far due to it being right on the beach.  When we arrived we met the host who help us get settled into our spot.  We couldn’t believe the view we had.  They had kayaks to rent, a big dock and a tiki hut. I couldn’t believe how many curly tailed lizards and iguanas were down here - ICK.  I did a pretty good job of getting over my fear of them because literally they were everywhere. That day Bryan took the paddle board out and I was too chicken and took a kayak out in the water.  We saw a nurse shark under the dock, manta ray, and several jelly fish. A couple came in a few hours later and they had a little girl (probably around 7) who soon became my new best friend.  She loved Gus and was super curious that we had a cat in the van. They had karaoke one night and of course I couldn’t resist and sang a couple songs.  Bryan came up with me for one duet. ...
