We said goodbye to Ottawa - Margie's and my favorite city so far - and after replenishing our water and gas supplies we hit the road around 10:30am.The weather was nice and made good progress shaving time off Delilah's estimated arrival time to Toronto. I have not driven the rental car once so far... Margie has been the sole driver on this trip!
We passed, in the order listed, Athens, Spencerville, and Shannonville on the way to Toronto. We also saw a coyote crossing the road in front of us and race the train for a few miles - the train won this one...We stopped for lunch at a Flying-J's station with their restaurant called Country Market. Don't ever eat there! We did and that's why we warn you. We had the buffet and let the children ran a bit - literally ran around - on the grassy area outside the restaurant to burn some energy. When we got back into the car, it was time for movies. Sophia and Maria were watching Atlantis - Sophia's favorite movie of the time - and Costas saw Cars.
We made another brief stop right before Shannonville at the local McDonalds for some coffee for the dedicated driver. We had to use Delilah to find a McDonalds at this stretch of the road as we managed to drive several miles without seeing one! Strange!
We hit Toronto around 4:30pm, right on traffic time. We did not do too bad and we were at the hotel around 5:15pm. The room is bigger than before and everyone is resting now getting ready for tomorrow's big day at the zoo.
