Williamsburg Virginia

Well after 3 long days of driving we arrive here in Williamsburg VA and staying at a Thousand Trails membership park 3 buck a night you got to love that price even in US dollars. We are here for 4 nights.

It was shaping up to be a beautiful day with temperature around 24 C (75 F)  so we headed in to see the Historic District and take a walk through some of the original settlement of Williamsburg with all the colonial buildings and many of the local shop keepers dressing the part of the early 1600'S.

  

                                       "All aboard" here are a couple of ways to see the sights

                                          I guess I should have paid for my parking spot

                                        Patches though he would get in on the action too

Okay I got to run for now stop by any time and remember "keep your stick on the ice" over and out

Oh no not that four letter word "snow"

Well we weren't figuring on the that this early but hey this is Northern Ontario so anything is possible. That's okay though Patches has never seen snow before and was having a ball this morning running and playing in it. Luckily we got most of our outside work done and took the gazebo down the weekend before, and got all the outdoor furniture covered for the season.

                                            Poor Anne belle snow on her roof

                                   Not really to much of the white suff but that's all I what to see

           
                                                        The gazebo all ready for winter

The good news is 13 more sleeps and we are out of here and heading south. Thanks for tuning in and remember "keep your stick on the ice".

Blueberry summer 2015

Wow another summer season has come and almost gone, time seem to just be flying by. We are starting to get ready to head south soon and plan to spend sometime in Virginia in November before meeting our friends Teresa and Victor in Myrtle Beach for the American Thanksgiving.

Trip to Mexico

Hi ho Hi ho its off to Mexico we go. We are taking our first travels into Mexico this morning and looking forward to see their culture first hand and of coarse Nola has some serious shopping on her mind. We have to drive too Progreso TX where we are meeting the gang and parking on the US side and taking the short walk across the Rio Grand and just like the that we are there "wow" no border guards or showing your passport just your in. Now mind you if you are driving in you must go through a border station to enter, I guess there is so many tourists walking in for the day that they couldn't keep up with it all.

                                                  On the bridge with Rio Grand behind us

         Our friends we have meet a few year earlier in Florida that travel to Texas this year too

                                                           Bring on the shopping
