OMG.....we were so happy to finally pull into the Westin here in Ottawa. It meant we were done!!!!! Finally Home. Ok, well almost....we still need to get the keys to the house and actually move in. But.......we are here!!!!! All said and done we drove 4,640km (for our American friends that is 2,833 miles).
Back to the Westin for a moment.....N.I.C.E.....please and thank you.
Last day of driving.....we were up super duper early so we could get a jump on the day and be able to stop and visit with friend's in North Bay. We were supposed to spend the night, but the snow storm that landed us in Thunder Bay for an extra day bit into our overnight stop.
North Bay is where our good friends Mike & Sonia live. They have four...yes four boys, and their eldest Brandon is one of our God Sons. So we were very motivated to get a stop in to at least say hi.
We were greeted with many hugs and a feast that left us so full we were barely able to eat dinner when we got in to Ottawa 4+ hrs later.
From Left to Right: Jordan, Ryan, Brandon, Shawn & Cameron.
Nice one!
The "Boys" let me squeeze in for a picture.
Goofballs :)
After lunch we headed back on the road to finish this road trip off. Why does the last day, especially the last 30km feel like the longest part?? Anyways....we finally saw Ottawa in the distance and started to realize we were "home".
We pulled up to the Westin and handed our car over for valet service. They guys had a good laugh at how dirty it was. They handed it back to us the next morning all sparkly!!! Thank you!! (I do realize that the outrageous valet fee we pay covered the cost of it being washed....but it was still a surprise all the same!)
OK, so now all we need to do is hand over the biggest cheque we have ever written and get the keys to our house.
They washed the car!!!! very cool.
