Heading Out

A snowstorm hit Nova Scotia last night. Our little micro-climate here in the Valley ended up with only the very lightest sprinkling of snow, but we will be driving into The City; which was one of the hardest-hit areas, tonight.

It's time for a road trip!

We're meeting Kristie and Tanya (sisters and close family friends of mine) tonight in the city and heading out of the province tomorrow morning. My sister is getting married on Saturday so all of her far-flung family members and friends are converging on the town of Kingston, Ontario to witness the spectacle.

In anticipation of the trip, my dad called me last night wanting to know how to put new addresses in his GPS. As Mark went out the door to band practice I walked him through it, and I'm pretty sure he actually understands the process now. He's not of a generation that is comfortable with technology, but he wants to learn and he's not afraid of most of it.

For my part, even though we're carpooling in Tanya's car and she has a GPS, I've added our hotels and my sister's house to my own GPS. Then, if she is unprepared (unlikely), we'll still have a backup system.

Or we could use an old-fashioned paper map. Bleh.

Those are so twentieth-century.
