Canada, Eh? [2 of...]

Adventure #2: Travel!

This may seem like a lame title, and a lame adventure, but it definitely was an adventure, and we definitely did a lot of it!

Leg 1: From Salt Lake City to Cincinnati, then Cincinnati to Detroit.
This is half of the of the group waiting to catch our flight out of Salt Lake.
This is us boarding our plan to Detroit. We had to take a bus to our flight and board from the ground...as in outside on the pavement. That was new for me.

Leg 2: Driving from Detroit to my Aunt's house.
We arrived at night, and this is the Ambassador Bridge that we crossed to get into Canada. It was so cool to see the lights on the river at night.
This is our sweet Gangster rental car. They were out of the car we were supposed to get...so we got the "luxury" Chrysler 300.

Leg 3: Driving to Toronto [and back].
Shawn and I took off to Toronto on Friday and spent the night there...and then drove back to my Aunt's for a family party on Saturday.
We got stuck in traffic in Toronto [which is totally Unsurprising] and took this picture at a light because it's our Landlord's last name.

Leg 4: Back to Detroit for a Redwing's Game
Shawn and my brother in law Doug went to a Detroit Redwing's game on Sunday...because it was the Stanley Cup...and when would they be in Detroit during the Stanley Cup-Ever-Again?? Shawn took this picture in the tunnel, and I Love It.

Leg 5: Niagara Falls
The whole family loaded up and drove the 2 and 1/2 hours to Niagara Falls on Monday. The Falls are amazing.

Leg 6: Coming Home!
We had the longest day coming back home. First we had to drive 2 hours to the airport. Then we had tons of connections [i.e. Detroit to Atlanta, Atlanta to Las Vegas, Las Vegas to Salt Lake] because it made our tickets cheaper, but it made for a full day of travel...and lots of weary travelers. Emilee rode on the suitcase anywhere she could in every airport going there and coming back.

Man we traveled so much. We drove so much. Excuse me, Shawn drove so much. But it was a great trip, it made all the travel worth it!
