Our trip down south

Hi All,

 

First off, an aknowledgement due to all the kind invitations to fish when i was down, just did not turn out to be on the cards. Time, weather and no internet access conspired to make this a relatively fishing free vacation. Fact of the matter was my wife's mother is very ill and we had to be ready to visit at short notice. Could not make the fish-a-thon either :mellow::( .

 

 

Good news, Mother-in-law is doing much better and we had fun despite the stresses.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ON THE 1ST DAY OF TRAVEL WE STOPPED AT LAKE SUPERIOR TO COOL OFF, EAT LUNCH, HAVE A PEE AND STRETCH OUR LEGS

Thanks for all the well wishes folks...i'll be sure she gets the message!

 

 

 

 

Thanks for sharing Simon. That last picture is something, I stared at that picture and my thoughts went back to my child-hood. Great picture for a living room wall and a screen saver. Picture of a thousand words. That made my day :good:

 

Thanks FF....mum snapped us on Jack's 'secret island' at the bottom of the yard...we often sit out on it and plan the next day.

 

 

Glad to hear Ma-in-law is on the mend. Looks like quite the adventure, and looks like Jack won the water fight :thumbsup_anim:

 

He is evil with a water gun...NO MERCY! Takes after mum completely :whistling:

 

 

glad you had a safe and fun trip and that grandma is doing better.

 

That little monster must have had a great time....I don't mean jack laugh.gif

 

Also ooks like the walleye and bass did a good job of greeting you on your return!

 

He bought the little monster with tickets he won at the arcade at Niagra. He named him 'Dave Crick'. LOL...dont know where he pulled that name from...but Dave Crick had to come everywhere with us after that.

Nice report Simon and great to hear your mother-in-law is doing better. I like your idea of coming to the city for a few days and the rest of the year in paradise. If it was me I might be able to do the city trips every 2-3 years, maybe longer in between ;).

I'm glad to hear that your Mother-in-law is doing better Simon :thumbsup_anim:

I also understand the glad to be home statement.... even though I'm fairly close to the city, I like you, avoid the crowds at all cost :)

Great report and pics!!!

Thanks for sharing your trip with us :thumbsup_anim:

Jacques
