The Top 10 Things I Learned on This Road Trip.

10. Kids can listen to the same thing over Katy Perry, and over Disney-Pixar's Cars, and over Toy Story, and over again. CSIS should really talk to Angus about employing some new, cutting-edge techniques to their modes of torturous interrogation.

9. Silence is golden.

8. Embarking on a road-trip (of this length) with kids as young as Angus and Henry, really actually is fun. Really.

7. I'm glad Angus was still in diapers for this trip. I fear that there would have been many more pit stops along the way had he been potty-trained.

6. A sense of humour goes a loooooooooooooong way (3, 000K return, to be exact).

5. What you see really DOES depend on what you're looking for (one of my favourite quotes, John Lubbock).

4. I see now what all the fuss is about with coffee (not the fancy drinks...a plain ol' cuppa joe).

3. I think a really good business idea would be to have a rest stop equipped with an indoor playground.

2. It truly is NOT the destination, but the journey itself.

1. I love my boys so so much, and I love that we shared this together. They made the trip so much more interesting than if I had done it alone. Even after we got home, the last thing I wanted was a break from them. Here's hoping that this is the first of many family road trips in our futures!

And this, my dear friends and family, is the end of this road trip. Thank you so much for spending time following us on this journey. I am truly flattered. To my friends in Ottawa that I did not see, I really hope to catch up with you all soon...I really did want to see you, but the short time I was home really did fly by. To my family: thank you for housing us, feeding us, and basically putting up with us. We love you all! And now, for your viewing pleasure (it is 7 minutes long, so I understand if you don't watch the video in its entirety), I've attached a copy of the video of our visit to the museum (it's the next post). Until out next adventure, adios!
