UPDATED: Summer is a comin!

Howdy!

Here's an update on our progress with the Canada to-do list:

A week today and we will be in Winnipeg (or at least on a flight to Winnipeg). It has been almost 4 years since I've been "home" and over the last few weeks I have been compiling a list of things that we will do on our epic summer adventure:
