Where are we today ?
Up early as usual and puttered around for a while so nice, enjoying the last morning here with a wonderful sunrise.
But we have a plan today, on the road at 7:45 am. Fuel up with gas and propane. Stop at a few rest areas to stretch and one at noon to make a sandwich. Such a nice relaxing drive today, no traffic, no wind and sunny, just wish it was warmer, but thats just the way it is.
 |
| 315 miles today |
For the last 8 years (except one) we have taken I-75 through Detroit. This is such an easy drive. No muss, no fuss and no traffic when we pass here about 11 am on a weekday.
 |
| by pass the Detroit crossing and head to Port Huron |
We stopped once more at Marysville to top up our Fuel tank (5 miles from the border) and a huge Meijers grocery stop here too in we need.
 |
| no traffic in the Car/Rv lane |
 |
| no line ups at customs either |
 |
| the back roads are good with still signs of the winter past |
Now taking the backroads from here we arrived in New Hamburg shortly before 3 pm. Parked in Suzie's Mom and Dad's driveway. She had a nice roast beef in the oven, the smell was wonderful . So after setting up our coach I peeled some potatoes, a mess of fresh asparagus with a hollandaise sauce, lettuce salad with Suzie's mom's homemade dressing, and a tasty gravy.
Suzie was helping her mom and dad sort through a lifetime of stuff in an attempt to do some purging, such a big job.Ended up that Suzie's Aunt and Uncle showed up for supper as well, sure hit the spot, Even a nice chelsea bun from Anna Mae's mennonite Restaurant in Millbank for desert too!

| parked here for a couple days |

I still think you'd had a good time at Cabela's - Exit 17 off Rt 23.... Oh well... you did what you needed to do... and it worked well. Looks like the food is still good and the happy hour is great ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure we stopped at Cabela's. did not see a vest I wanted and carried on.
DeleteIt was yummy!
Always nice when the border crossing goes so easily. Just tell the truth - sounds like the thing to do.
ReplyDeleteTelling the truth even though we were over on some of our limits, no problem.
DeleteWelcome home - now get ready for all those lovely summer postings! :-)
ReplyDeleteYes summer soon be here, can hardly wait.
DeleteWelcome home! Great ride for you and really nice to be greeted with family and good food! Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteIs was a very nice welcome.
I think its a scream...... You already changed the counter until you can go back to Arizona...... !!
ReplyDeleteIt will soon be time to head south again, want to make sure we are ready.
DeleteOMG - Too funny George. And I didn't even notice it until I read Rod's post !!
DeleteI totally missed that too. Welcome back eh.
DeleteGotta read it carefully sometimes EH!
DeleteGlad you made it home safely. Family and a yummy hot meal sure hit the spot I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun visit, first of many.
DeleteWelcome back to Canada.
ReplyDeleteThanks you, you guys beat us though.
DeleteWelcome back guys. Its always good to get home.
ReplyDeleteYep its is, so much to do too.
DeleteThat's nice that everything went so easy for you. Welcome home! Enjoy the summer with family and friends.
ReplyDeleteThanks , we sure will.
DeleteI felt like I was going through the Border again. Took many of the same pics. Sure don't like those roundabouts though.
ReplyDeleteIt's got to be a good feeling though to wake up in the morning and know you don't have to drive a few hundred miles now.
I am used to the roundabouts, so many in this area.
DeleteNo problem for us we will still be moving about, here, just not quite so far with the coach.
Just think of how much less fuel you're wasting and brake dust you're creating by using a roundabout. Of course, half the people around here haven't a clue what to do in a roundabout, but that's another story.
DeleteShould try it in the UK. I only had to do that a couple times. It's like trying to cut your hair in a mirror. Everything is backwards!
Yeas they would backwards in the UK, that traffic moves much quicker than all those stoplights.
DeleteLooks like the weather got more cooperative for your return and everything went well. Nice to have such a fine looking meal awaiting you.
ReplyDeleteYes it was very nice and an easy drive too.
DeleteI just read another blog that had just about the same photos of the signs...lol
ReplyDeleteHow nice to have a welcome home dinner. Enjoy your time with the family.
It was nice travel day and the signs are there to take pictures of.
DeleteWelcome home to Canada! Looks as wintry there than here. And we have some roundabouts in NB as well. One really has to watch out for dummies who don't know how to drive through it. Wonder what they learned in driving school? Asparagus with sauce hollandaise! One of my favourites. Only I grew up with the white asparagus, in Germany. April/May is big asparagus time over there. Is see you are enjoying the family life!
ReplyDeleteHave never tried white asparagus, will keep an eye out for it.
DeleteThanks, real gravy right from the roast, just a little corn starch to thicken it a bit.
ReplyDeleteWecome home. Hope you brought some warm weather. Sure do need it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gerry, its getting warmer already!
DeleteAw… nice family pictures… and as always! the foooood… deeelicious! I can smell that smell … My Mother was one good roast cooker with the potatoes and carrots cooked with it… good stuff
ReplyDeleteHAhaa I didn't notice the counter either…
Sometimes they do a big roast and invite people, never know how many for supper. For us I like to cook it altogether too.
