August 26-27, 2021 We go to the Big Apple!
We were on our way north to Montreal but we saw a Giant Apple along the highway and just had to stop there for lunch. The Big Apple Farm is an apple themed store and restaurant with some extra amusements such as a petting zoo, a small mini-golf course and a few kiddie rides. They…

August 24-25, 2021 St. Lawrence Market and the Pacific Mall
Between the heat and the noise it was not a great night’s sleep. In the morning we drove to get some quick pictures of the big Toronto sign before heading to St. Lawrence Market, once again finding parking right on the street. Once again, we were thankful that Rover was so small. Any larger and…

August 22-23, 2021 Toronto
We had not been to an RV park in Canada and we wanted to have a break before going to Toronto. We knew that with a big city like Toronto we would likely be spending the nights on the street or on a parking lot. We found the Pine Valley RV resort on Google which…

August 21, 2021 Wineries in Canada?
Olivia wanted to go to the Dinosaur miniature golf course so we went there in the morning before it got too hot. It was a pretty nice mini golf course with a fire erupting volcano, plenty of dinosaur models and some of the holes even had small sand traps which was a bit different. It…

We got a Niagara Falls Adventure pass for the day which included three attractions and a bus pass at a discounted price of CAD$49 per person. We hopped on the nice air-conditioned bus to our first stop the Whirlpool Areo Car which is a suspended cable car going over a spot where the Niagara River…

August 18-19, 2021 CANADA!
Wednesday morning arrived and we drove to the CVS and got our second Covid test. As luck would have it, we got our results from our first Covid test on Saturday soon after we took our second test, just a day late. Our test results were all negative so that was a good sign for…

August 15-17, 2021 Waiting in Buffalo
We normally go to Six Flags for two days as that is how long we can stand park food. A couple of days of hamburgers, chicken fingers and other assorted junk food is OK but more than that is too much. I took Olivia to the park and waterpark while Holly got some rest in…

August 13-14, 2021 Off to Buffalo!
We got up early and made our 9:30 AM appointment at the Discount Tire for our tire rotation. OK, so maybe 9:30 AM is not that early but we love to sleep in and it is not unusual for us to get up after 9:00 AM and by the time we get our teeth brushed…

August 11-12, 2021 Pirate Attack!
The morning dawned warm and humid and it was a good thing we had external electricity because we were able to turn on the AC and have a lazy morning doing homeschooling, not leaving until well after lunch. It was off and on storming still and I took the opportunity during one of the breaks…

August 8-10, 2021 No, Don’t send me to Detroit!
We had a hectic few days, with the Coast Guard Festival, museums and other attractions so we stopped at Lansing and took a couple of days off, hanging out at Barnes and Noble, the Lansing Mall and Starbucks. We did homeschooling and I had the chance to go see Suicide Squad 2 while Holly and…
