Maritimes - Day 37

8 provinces, 3.5 time zones, 14,000 km and our trip is done.  I didn't sleep very well last night, as I was nervous about this last long drive, but managed to get rested enough.  We packed up before church, went to a wonderful service, said our good-byes and then quickly drove to Winnipeg for lunch.

Then it was just the long drive home.  Traffic was busy from Winnipeg to Brandon, but light after that.  I forgot to mention that there is a noticeable increase in semi traffic once you leave Thunder Bay, which makes sense, given that it is the last port on the Great Lakes.  Most of the traffic today was semis, and often it was annoying, as they would be slowly passing each other and blocking all the lanes.  Also, Saskatchewan is full of bugs.  The front of the van is almost black, and I had to stop at a gas station to clean the window just so I could see.

We ended up stopping in Indian Head for supper, as it was 6:00pm for us by that time, and then we drove the last 45 minutes into Regina.  The kids were quite excited - Bradley was shouting out the kilometers on every sign we passed.

We arrived safe and sound, unpacked the van and then started unpacking all of our stuff.  Our trip to the Maritimes is officially over.
