Day 7 ~ Back to the States

As they say, all good things must come to an end. Even though we were looking forward to seeing Isaiah and Mallory again, it was really hard to leave Toronto. It had been such a fantastic week for us.

Road construction in front of our hotel made for a tight squeeze to leave town.

Bye-bye Royal York. *sniffles sadly*

Just outside Toronto, we noticed a traffic back-up going the other direction. The radio newscaster mentioned a semi was overturned and drivers were "taking a peek" to see what was going on. We giggled at his word choice. Here is the states, we use less polite terms like "rubber necking" or "gawking".

When you get bored in the car, it's always fun to take pictures of the handsome driver. 

Almost to customs...perhaps we should stop for a restroom... Nah, traffic doesn't look bad at all...

Yeah, what we didn't see was the parking lot of cars just over the hill waiting on the bridge to cross the border. Ugh. An hour. On a bridge. Fantastic. We really should have stopped. :/

Just a little advice:

OK - I think I got it. Won't be running on empty with this! Woot Woot!

Chicago. We meet again. :P

Well, hello there, handsome driver.  

Almost there...

Home safe and sound! 

Many, many thanks to my mom for staying with the kids for us!!! 

Love how Mallory drew Niagara Falls. :) (See top drawing.)

What a fantastic trip. I feel badly admitting it, but this trip was even better than our Honeymoon. We had so much fun enjoying eachother's company and seeing so many new things. 

The big question - where are we going next?! And WHEN?!
