Yesterday we packed up and left Toronto. After giving away more than we kept, we managed to pack all of our worldly belongings into a tiny Jeep and a 4′ x 8′ trailer.

Our trip officially started today, after spending last night at my childhood home in cottage country. We had wanted a bit earlier of a start, but had a couple of set backs, including Lenny finding the swamp beside the house. One ‘bath’ (let’s be honest – it was a garden hose) later and with a wet dog in tow, we were on our way.

A wet and unhappy Lenny!

It turned out to be a beautiful day to drive and we decided to stop early to camp.

This whole day and evening reminded me just how satisfying simplicity is. Just the two of us (plus Lenny of course), with the open road and an adventure in front of us. It’s just day one of our adventure to our adventure, but I know it’s going to be amazing.
