My First Trip Out of the Country

In August of 2007 we went up to see my great grandma in Canada. We drove first to our family reunion in Effingham, Illinois. Then drove up to Canada from there. I have my first stamp in my passport. My great grandma lives up in Bracebridge, Ontario and towards the end of the journey in the car I was getting restless. I was already in my new car seat because mommy knew I would have a fit if I was turned around in my car seat the whole time.

We visited grandma for a couple days before heading back to KC.

This is where we stayed in Bracebridge. It was gorgeous and an old fashioned house that had been changed into a hotel.

So big walking and getting ready to head back to the states.

We ended up driving back to Michigan where we arrived at the airport and got on a plane. I slept for the first part and then when we arrived in Chicago for our connecting flight we had quite a bit of time to kill so I got to play. I didn't sleep the second time, but I didn't fuss a lot either because mommy was taking such good care of me on the plane by whispering in my ear and just calming me down. We made it back safe and sound.
