The Great Canadian Road Trip

For summer vacation this year, we took a big, long road trip.  We packed up the car and headed straight north towards Canada.  Our goal was to drive all the way around Lake Superior, and 1500 miles later, we did just that.  We met up with friends in Thunder Bay, explored beautiful nature, enjoyed the cooler summer temperatures near the lake, and relaxed in some small towns.  By the time we made it to Sault Ste Marie, we were refreshed and ready to go home.
