CANADA part 1






Our big, exciting vacation for the summer of 2006 was our trip to Canada to visit Kim's Uncle Todd and Aunt Marilyn in their cabins on Eagle Lake in Dryden, Ontario. The drive took us two days, and was about 13 hours total drive time. On the drive north, we stopped in Duluth for an overnight stay and met Kim, Terry, Kelly and Mark at a hotel. This made for a wonderful start the next morning, since we all got up and had a nice breakfast together before hitting the road! We arrived in Canada mid-afternoon on Friday. I had been seriously worried about crossing the border with our "gifts" for Todd and Marilyn (everyone chipped in and I purchased approximately $100 worth of Wisconsin cheese!) but it was no trouble at all, thank goodness! The property in Canada was breath taking. The further north we traveled, the more excited we all became! The cabins sit right on Eagle river with the view of the mouth of Eagle lake RIGHT in sight! It was such a peaceful and pretty spot. They have four white cabins and tons of shoreline. There are steps down to a dock. The main highlight of the whole trip was the fishing! I have so many pictures I want to include... more details coming in part 2....
