We enjoyed a family trip to Canada and NY. So thankful that my sister-in-law picked the Fall to get married and gave us a reason to make the trek up North! I hadn't seen a 'real' Fall since I was in high school - so to get back during that time of year to see the leaves at the peak of changing colors was a special treat - in addition to seeing family and friends!
Our trip involved some extreme traveling (pretty sure any travels involving 2 children is fairly extreme!), but we put a lot of miles on our rental car (something about flying into Detroit and driving past Toronto, then a 4 hour journey North towards the French River for a beautiful wedding, and then down to Western NY, and then back to Detroit....) - but we survived it and it went quite smoothly! So grateful that it was a fabulous trip - and included one of the most beautiful weddings EVER!
So without further ado.............a bit of a picture recap of our adventure.
