Sierra’s First Road Trip – Day 3 – Enter The Pool

Any good visit to Ajax deserves a trip to Sauter’s Inn for a pint (or more!)

After a great night out with some friends, it was time for a great afternoon with family!  The annual pool party had commenced!

Sierra spent the day meeting family member like Connie

And Wendy!

I managed to convince Dwayne to crank the heat in the swimming pool so I could bring Sierra in for a dip.  It was a great success!  She really likes the water!  When I say she really likes it, I suppose I should say that she is indifferent to it…she neither smiles nor cries while in the water.  I consider that a win!  She hung out for a bit in the pool and I think she’ll become a little grenouille soon enough!

Later on in the night, we hauled the guitars out to have some fun.  Troy had brought a new member to the group, a gentleman by the name of Greg who was an a-ok guy.  He got to stick around for a few tunes before heading back to the London area.  Troy and I had chosen a few new tunes to play that night in honour of the Tragically Hip.  We snuck a suite of their tunes into the set.

It was a fantastic day and a fantastic chance to introduce Sierra to the family!  She had tons of attention and I don’t remember her acting up too much!

The next day we hit the road and she was sleeping like a champ again.  We decided to stop at one of the 401 truck stops and we found a really nice relaxing area down the hill from one of them.  It must have been the old truck stop of the 1960s.  They even had a boarded up washroom.  At least they had some picnic tables that we hung out at.
