Meanwhile, I have kept myself busy with lots of visiting and spending the odd day with my daycare friends. Here’s some of the highlights of the past 4 months. Hope to hear from you soon!

Visit to Ontario at Easter
I talked Mommy into going on a plane with me to Ontario. It is the last time I will fly for free before I turn two next month so she thought it was a good idea too! A really nice flight attendent at WestJet let me wear her vest and help her work on the plane. She told me I can apply for her job in about 16 years! Read the rest of this entry »

Heading Home
Tidal flats, St.Andrews by the Sea, New Brunswick
Reluctantly, it is time to make tracks towards home. We took a shortcut through the USA and found ourselves back with family and friends for a few weeks in November.
Although it was sad to finish the trip, we did enjoy some great visiting in Ontario again. Here are some snapshots and highlites.
The trip isn’t exactly finished yet however, we decided to leave our van in storage in Ontario and fly home for the winter. We’ll return next summer and drive it back when the weather’s nicer.
Maybe some of you would like to join us for the return leg? We look forward to it.

Nova Scotia
At The Ovens, near Lunenburg.
From lobster traps to brewery tuns to front page news, Nova Scotia has been one exciting place.
I just hope I can remember it all when I’m older. To help me out, daddy has posted a good selection of images.

PEI
On September 21st we drove across the longest bridge I’ve ever been on to Prince Edward Island. We liked it so much here we ended up staying for 9 days, driving almost the entire island’s roads and seeing many wonderful things.
Unfortunately we had a few days of wet weather but it didn’t really slow us down much. Dad said it makes for excellent light for the pictures.
Here are a few of the many he took.

No extreme drives this time, but we did have to learn some new words. (Of course they’re all new to me).
Amusez-vous bien….

On The Road Again
Today we finally left on our fall road trip. We’ve been planning this trip for a long time - ever since I was born!
It’s going to be a long one too, all the way to the east coast (and back!). We expect to be gone until mid November.
Daddy plans to post regular pictures and stories of my adventures here and more trip details on his website at www.scottwarris.com.
We’re calling this trip Venturetour 2006, after mom and dad’s big 2 year world adventure in 1990/91.
I hope you check back often and follow our adventures!
We got an early start, so early I wasn’t even up yet! I woke up somewhere around Drumheller for breakfast.

That’s me on the left - just 41 years difference!
