Canada
Episode II - Fall 2017
Our trip to England showed us a lot about traveling. But we still had a lot to learn. You can do all the planning in the world, but until you get out on the road you never know what will work best.
​
Episode II would start with a road trip with our family to North Carolina to visit with Colleen's brother Curtis and his partner Rusty at their cabin. We would take in our first solar eclipse. From there, we would fly to Vancouver Canada and begin to explore our giant neighbor to the North. We were excited to get on the road again.
