Canada Moms Blog Road Trip - two moms, three kids and a ton of adventures!
The Drivers: Catherine Conners and Katie York of Canada Moms Blog
The Dates: June 29th through July 12th
The Vehicle: GM Traverse
The Sponsors: General Motors (and more to be announced!)
The Plan: We cover Eastern Canada first. We will fly to Moncton and grab the GM Traverse
and head to Halifax. From Halifax, we head up through Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick and into Quebec. We'll take a breather in Quebec City,
maybe stop for a smoked meat sandwich in Montreal, and then head to
Ottawa. From Ottawa, we fly to Edmonton (we know, we're skipping a huge
chunk of Central Canada. But we've only got so much time, and in any
case, we'll be back in central Canada before long!) We hang in Alberta
for a bit, and then head into British Columbia through Jasper National
Park (a must-stop for a group with a baby named Jasper). We then drive
south, stopping in Kamloops and Penticton before landing in Vancouver,
where we'll celebrate our survival (we hope.) Then back to Toronto,
where we may need to celebrate again. Again, that is, assuming that we
do survive.
Have fun ladies!! I'm sad that you're skipping my province completely (SK), but I understand it. There's only so much flat some people can take. And I love Alberta, so I'm not too offended.

Sounds like so much fun and you are stopping in my city (well I'm in a suburb of Edmonton, but still, Edmonton is 10 minutes from me!!!) I love road trips, except for the driving part, lol. Hope you ladies have a great time!

Sounds like a great trip. Hopefully next year you can drive the whole way, right thru Winnipeg and Regina!

Have an awesome time, I'm in Vancouver if you need a break from the kids or want some fresh kids to have a playdate with!

Hey...Could you post a picture of the Traverse with all three car seats buckled in? I need to see if it is indeed possible to fit that many car seats in it.

Traveling on land and air is an adventure and a half. Heh, a trip with so many destinations is pretty fun. The company you keep is the best kind of luggage to bring on a road trip, for all the conversations and sing-alongs they can offer out while the car drives through the highways.
