FB is a quick place to jot things down and later transfer them over to my blog...I am getting so forgetful, that I am going to start just writing whatever comes to mind before it is forgotten forever...
this is from our road trip 2 summers ago, when we took Zozo with us...
we had had a really great time,traveling thru California, Oregon and Washington...leaving Whidbey was hard as we all love it there so much and Zo had had a wonderful time on the Puget Sound and even tho it was not part of the original plan, decided to take the long way off the Island thru Deception Pass and take Zo to Canada...

we drove thru Deception Pass and it was gorgeous, we had never been that way before...to reach Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island, you get there by ferry and that is the way we always got onto the Island...there is one road in or out of the Island and that is thru Deception Pass...since we had never been that way, I never knew there was a cute little town called Anacortes and ...if and when we retire there, thinking we will go to Anacortes (cute thing I read somewhere that the guy that discovered the town named it after his wife...) awwww...
so Zo is getting excited about going to another country...
we pull up to the border and we get this guy on the Canadian border side who was not nice at all to us and he was telling us in so many words that he did not believe us and told us to pull over to the building...we did and were told we were to go inside the building...once there it got nasty...they confiscated our car keys, searched our car, pulling things out, took Zo aside to speak to her (& her being kind of shy) and spoke with us for the longest time...they tried to call Samantha and Brant with no answer...let me add that we had all of the correct paper work that AAA told us to take with us regarding a minor...
finally they came to a decision and said that we could go...turns out they thought we were tryng to kidnap Zoe...ummm really?? they said we were cleared to go into Canada and Ross said, "no way, before this happens again I want to be back on US soil."
