Ingram Family

As you know my Nanny Marsh hasn't been well, so Mike and I decided to go on a road trip to see her and we hauled JJ along with us. So first JJ and I got up Thursday at like 5 am and flew to Montreal (where Mike had been working on contract) then Mike picked us up at the airport and we went back to pack up and clean his place since he had finished up his contract there. Then we got in the car and drove to Sudbury, I don't remember how many hours this was exactly but it was definetly alot of them, I think it was like 9 hours or so. Once we got into Sudbury we spent that night visiting with Nanny, got a hotel that night, went back to visit with her again in the morning until about supper time and then hit the road again. So now it's Friday and we're on our way to Timmins, I think it took us about 5 hours to get them, mostly because we ran into a little weather and the creepiest gas station on earth. Nothing at all on a three hour stretch of highway, nothing, except this one creepy gas station and store with stuffed animals in it and stuff, it was a total horror movie scene, we booted it out of there quite quickly. So we spent the night in Timmins with my Bompy and visited with a few relatives. At lunch the next day we stopped to get a famous Timmins "Chez Nous" poutine and then off we were to Toronto, why Toronto you say .. because JJ's brother lives there and really what was a few extra hours anyways. So we didn't get into Toronto until about 11pm ... we had hit more weather and I think it was like a and 8-10 hour drive, I can't remember just a lot of driving once again. We stayed there and hung out with Keith until the wee hours of the morning, then got up at 10 am sharp and was off again .. this time for home. We left Toronto at 10 am Sunday morning and didn't get home until 4 pm Monday afternoon. We ran into a huge snow storm, or a weather bomb the radio kept saying, that took hours and hours to get through, the plow kept falling off the road. We made it home though. I'm happy that I went and got to spend that time with Nanny.

On another note .. Kelsey placed third at provincials for wrestling. Caits hockey team is off to Provincials for hockey in a few weeks and I have Turbo Jammed myself down 10 pounds so far .. it is ridiculously slow coming off though, but hopefully that means it will stay off.

JAMAICA IN 3 WEEKS ... I REALLY NEED THE VACATION!
