Back From Canada

We are back from Canada, & had a great time!
Thursday night Jerm came and spent the night here so we could get a jump start in the morning.
Friday Jerm was up around 6 to run, shower, and repack, and I was up at 7 to finish packing and such. Ry got out of work at 7 so he was already packed & began loading when he got home. We left around 8, and after a few readjustments to the kayak, we were on the road! We made pretty good time, with only a few pit stops along the way, and made it to Rys cabin around 3. We unloaded our stuff & put it away, played with Rem, then got the boat out and took it to go swimming. The water was chilly but it was warm out so it felt good! We spent the rest of the day swimming, hiking, eating wild blueberries we found, showing Jerm (and Rem) the Crooked Tree, and eating. We also enjoyed s'mores on the camp fire, but only for a while due to wind & being tired!
Saturday I awoke early & read outside with my coffee as morning grew sunny & warm, with Rem. Saturday turned out even nicer than Friday, and we were able to swim more, and do some rock jumping, along with some cabin maintenance. Ry also decided to see how Rem does in the boat, and got him in there and took him for a short ride. He was not wild about it. We made a short trip into "town" 20km away for a few sides for our dinner as well. Then back for some more swimming, kayaking, dinner, poker, camp fire (shorter than the night before due to skeeters), and we were tuckered out.
Sunday Jerm awoke early to go on a long run. I slept til 9 then had breakfast & woke up, and took an early kayak trip before we had to start backing up to go. We left about noon. Ry drove since I drove the whole way up. A few pit stops & we got back to GB around 6:30, and Jerm left shortly after we unpacked so he could get back to his place too.
We had a great weekend!

Sounds like an amazing trip, but so much driving for only a couple days! You should go for a good solid week next time (I know, vacation time sucks, huh?)
