If you are from the North, you have to start planning for the eventual road trip with the baby. Labour Day weekend was approaching fast and we decided to head to Barrie to visit Emilie, then I would head into Toronto to go to Fan Expo (comic book convention) and then head to Ajax to visit some family. It sounded like a great plan!
Sierra’s first road trip, wooo!
Now, of course, all good plans tend to fall apart and it fell apart for us by the time we hit the McDonald’s in Trenton. Up until that point (3 hours), she was sleeping like a champ but we were getting hungry so we figured we might as well not tempt fate and have us stuck in traffic with a screaming baby.
But we received a text message from Emilie saying that her kid was vomiting and that her house is now a quarantine zone. Oh no! We ended up calling up Aunt Dinah and invited ourselves over for the weekend. Thanks to Nanny, Aunt Dinah and Uncle Richard for putting up with us for the weekend!
Sierra enjoyed her first french fry on this trip. (I’m kidding!)
After spending an hour at the McDonald’s, we hit the road for another hour and headed into Ajax. I have to say that this was a blessing in disguise because I completely forgot that the 400 North is ridiculous on any summer weekend with all the campers heading out of town. Imagine being stuck in that traffic around 4PM! We wouldn’t have made it to Barrie for another four hours! So thank you Mackenzie for vomiting. I owe you big time.
Nanny loving every minute of Sierra
Nanny feeding Sierra like a pro. How many mouths has this woman fed in her lifetime?
It was a great evening of hanging out in Ajax but let’s be honest…we were all excited for the main event…meeting Stan Lee on Saturday!
