Monday with Sault Ste.Marie

Remember the last long weekend? Here is a result of it.

 Every time we go to our cabin in Sault Ste. Marie, precisely speaking Echo Bay, we leave on Friday and drive to Sudbury. Then, we spend there the first night. It makes the drive with a nine year old easier if we break it down. The last time we woke up in Sudbury there was an incredibly thick fog. It looked absolutely amazing. All you could see was red twigs and outlines of birches. Nature's miracle.

I love our family trips. We get to escape the city and get drunk on fresh air and lack of plan. But there are some rules and routines that we have developed over the years. The first thing we do as soon as we hit the highway is open a bag of junk food. We don't eat that stuff very often at home because we are aware how damaging it is to eat all the processed food and sugar. But there are no limitations when we get in that car and start driving.  Delicje, gingerbread cookies in chocolate with plum jam, Doritos, pop corn, Polish jelly in sugar, paluszki, party mix chips, etc, etc, and etc. Of course i try to sneak in some fruit and veggies but junk is what we want at that time!! And Tim Horton's tea and coffee is a big must! I honestly think the car would not start without it!!
