Road Trip Mini Album

I am so excited to post my first entry on my brand new blog!  This is a whole new adventure in the online scrapbooking community for me & I am giddy with anticipation.

These pictures are from an 8 x 8 album I started to chronicle our amazing road trip to Ontario in 2009.  There was never a dull moment having crammed my son (5 years old at the time), my fiancee, our new dog and myself into our truck for a cross country journey!  We took a 30ft trailer so we could camp along the way.  After a fantastic visit with my family we packed up and did it all over again!  This was not our first road trip together, however, it was our first real family vacation.  Boy did we have a great time!  Some of the journalling is not finished and there are still numerous pictures left to be scrapped for this album, but I think it's a good start.  Thanks for taking a peek!

A day at the Toronto Zoo with my parents

More zoo fun

And more zoo adventures

A long drive down a gravel road to find a hidden jewel of a campsite cost us one tire

Enjoying a snack at a campsite

A quick stop for a quirky photo op on the road (Kandahar Sask.)

A lovely day spent visiting some extended family with my Mom

I am so fascinated by the Amish culture & wanted to remember the joy of getting to see a nice couple on their way to town

This is my very first attempt at building a fire, it was a great success

Another fun filled day spending time with more extended family and my wonderful son

While we packed the truck & trailer, Lexi was ready for her own photo op
