Our Vacation comes to an End!

Day 47: 26.08.09
Today we head for Kingston and of course, in true Canadian style, pack up in the rain and head towards Toronto. The traffic through this city was quite slow and we were a little behind our anticipated schedule. We made a short detour to Aurora and had lunch with our friends, Murray & Margaret Bissett. The Bissetts are the couple who billeted us back in January and it was great to catch up with them again.
The drive from Aurora to Kingston seemed endless and it was with relief that we finally pulled into our driveway at 6.30pm. Everyone pitched in to unpack and it wasn’t long before our beds called us.
I totalled up the kilometres travelled. To my surprise, we did almost 10000! No mean feat with a van and three kids in tow!
With school starting on Tuesday, the countdown to Christmas and the end of our time here has begun. The next few months will be a special time for us and we will try and savour every moment!
Day 46: 25.08.09
Our last day! Today we took the kids back to Marineland for some last rides. Max of course, repeated his acts of adrenalin inducing fun by going on the upside down roller coaster and the Sky Screamer for one last time.
For dinner we made our way back into town for an all you can eat buffet next to the falls. We welcomed the opportunity to see the Falls at night. The light show was pretty special. We are all quite tired and will welcome our own beds tomorrow night!
