Hi from Saginaw, Michigan - only about 10 hours from home. Only another 20 hours of driving left. Ugh.
You know we didn't even make it out of the driveway before we were all bickering over something. Thankfully things improved after that. Still a LONG day.
Good things - we hit almost no construction. Couple of miles in Southern Ontario. No real slow-up.
Bad things - Border was somewhat backed up but we only lost about 40 minutes there.
It really is easier to drive cross country with a 6 and a 4 year old rather than a 3 and a 1 year old.
Hotel room smells funny.
Oh, when the customs agent asked us if we had anything with us that we planned on leaving in the US when we left (in 2 days) is it bad that I muttered "the children."
In my defence - when is the one time you want you kids to sit quietly and respectfully? Need I explain what my kids were doing? Ugh!
Cheers all!

Hey, I'm from near Saginaw! Why on earth are you there?
We crossed through Canada on our way from NY state to Michigan earlier this summer and had to coach the kids for customs: "Speak only when spoken to. Answer any question the nice agent asks you immediately and politely. Do not joke with these people." The canadian agent wound up asking most of her questions to the kids rather than us parents!
Have a great 20 hours more!

LOL why is that kids act like little hellion freaks when you need them to be quiet and nice? I swear, if my kids aren't fighting they are being totally disguting trying to make the other one laugh!! Be glad you don't have two BOYS!! ;)
Hey Sara,
Cheaper to drive through the States enroute from Ottawa to Winnipeg. Saginaw was stop #1 and Ironwood set #2.
