The long drive...

There are newer photos after this series...I forgot to post these last week!
It was a LONG drive from Burlington to Michigan, and I did a poor job of documenting it! But, I do have a few photos of those first few days. Will was a pretty good traveler overall. Justin and I took turns sitting in the backseat with him when we needed to eat or just have company. It was actually kind of fun back there!
This is at the border station in Canada. We weren't searched, thankfully. I think we just ooze innocence! We could never be a threat to national security, right!?!?
We found this little diamond in the rough at a "Service Centre" off the 401 in Canada. We were right next to a gas station, rest area, and a McDonald's, but this park was a little piece of heaven. It was huge and surprisingly quiet! Justin entertained us with his hackey-sack skills, and Peso even got a chance to get some fresh air (from the comfort of his carrier, of course!)

The car-top carrier was essential for this trip. We've always traveled with the cat, but the addition of Will added quite a bit more gear! (And yes, Will is crying here...he was a tired boy after our fun in the Service Centre park!)

No, this was not part of our transportation to Michigan, but going on a boat was one of the first things we did when we got here! Justin is a fantastic water skier! Wow!
