Almost exactly 7 weeks ago we left St. John's on a quiet cloudy Sunday morning and began the first leg of our move to Cape Cod- getting to Ontario. Here are some pictures from that adventure.
A rare nap at the same time... overall they are just catnappers in the car.
First night- camping in Gros Morne National Park. It was a beautiful evening.

We did the beautiful Tablelands hike the next morning
Second night- Cheeseman Provincial Park, getting ready to take the ferry to Nova Scotia the next day. No pics from the ferry because I felt too seasick :(.

After a great time of visiting and catching up with all of both of our families, which was pretty special- and seeing some friends we haven't seen for a while, doing some camping and relaxing, and a lot of paperwork and organization thrown in at the end-- we are ready to cross the border on Sunday for more adventures!
ps- there was one more very important event- Chris and Kristin got married! After our BC trip we travelled to Kleefeld, Manitoba for the lovely occasion. Congratulations Mr and Mrs. Chris and Kristin Bergshoeff! It was a beautiful day.

Not easy to get a family picture, but this is real life. :)
