I'm back from camping a few days early. We decided to drive straight through from Moncton NB to Ottawa ON rather than stop for two overnights on the way back.

We had a bit of trouble with the weather. On July 1st, we had a storm at our campsite in Quebec which blew down our tent (with 90 km/h or 50 mph winds) and drenched our air mattresses. We stayed the night in a hotel in Quebec City. When we returned to our tent, we found that one of the poles of our tent had a foot-long split in it.We duct-taped it and though it was weaker, it worked for the rest of the trip.

We hit 4 provinces on our trip - Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. We could have made it 5 provices with a 15 minute drive, but it wasn't worth it just to make that claim.

We came back early because my son has a fever and a sore throat. It's easier to take care of him at home than on the road. We arrived in town at 4:30 am and (not unexpectedly), the boys are up at 7:00 am since they slept most of the way in the car. I guess I'll get some sleep sometime soon.
