After a great little visit and a couple of overnights in the Kawartha Lakes, we hit the road bright and early for a long, long trek to Montreal. We made great time and stopped just outside of Ottawa for a visit with Stephanie, yet another friend from BC who has now relocated with her family in Ontario, and her two boys.
It's funny, that despite all the time that has passed, her oldest, Noah, still seems to remember us. He didn't even bat an eye and it seemed as though we all picked up right where we left off, with only a year and a half of time (and growth passing). Noah thought it was pretty cool that his mommy and Gabriel's mommy share the same name. He's just about the only person in the world who calls me "Steph" and I like it.
The littles got out their energy in all the best ways--eating a healthy and delicious spread and then jumping on the trampoline until the moment we had to get in the car to head to Montreal. It was perfect, really.
Total kms to date: 800 kms
Hours in car this leg: 6 hours
North Kawarthas to Montreal
Our longest day on the road likely four our entire trip was the day we drove to Montreal. Luckily we had such a great visit in Ottawa mid-way. And then a beautiful big dinner, bubbles on the terrasse, warm baths and stories with grandparents awaiting us in Montreal before we continued on the next day, this time with a fellow traveler to Rivière-du-Loup. But more about that in the next post.
