After completing our three month motorhome trip to Florida in the spring of 2017, we briefly checked in at home before heading out again across Canada to celebrate our country’s 150th Birthday. We had a great drive Eastward visiting many major destinations before turning 180 degrees at Sydney, Nova Scotia and driving back West again. We returned via the US cutting through Maine, Vermont, New York, Michigan, Wisconsin and the vast Mid West before stopping in Portland Oregon for a visit with Kristen, Erik, and Everett. Considering we started this trip with a few days of family camping together, this was a very appropriate way to end our trip. We had a wonderful time driving across both of these vast and beautiful countries and we’re definitely planning on doing a similar motorhome drive again someday, if only for the opportunity to chow-down on more of those great big delicious PEI lobsters.

On our return home we got so busy that the travel blog was set on the back burner and ultimately forgotten about so I never did complete a posting for this RV trip. Then life got even busier… Cam and Lia introduced us to baby Peyton in December 2017 and Kristen and Erik delighted us all with babies June and Elliot in June 2018. Somehow an entire year just slipped by us in a flash.

We are now about to begin a another motorhome adventure in Europe from March 2019 until mid June. In order to keep our travel blogs consistent and in order, I’m now about to backtrack somewhat and fill in the Canada 150 RV trip void. I want to maintain a consistent flow to my blogs because I have actually located a wonderful book publisher called “BlookUp” that will capture personal Blogs and then print them into fantastic hard covered books. Our plan is to have a complete set of these books that mirror all of our past travel adventures and provide us with one more opportunity to enjoy the memories.
