Snow Squalls

2 weeks ago we got in the car and drove to London, ON for some Easter goodness. We went down to spend some time with our friends Jodi and Kevan. It was great to get out of the city for a while. On this trip, I realized that the secondary highways in Ontario are far more scenic than the Four hundred series roads. On the way south, I wanted to take some back roads but the weather was like it might be dumping some snow, so decided to stay on the major roads. I thought they might have a better chance of staying ploughed.

We pulled in to London with snow squalls threatening to keep us holed up at Jodi's place for the entire time. They didn't really materialize, but we were able to put together a snowman...





with a moustache.




On the way back north, we took the four-o-one through Toronto and when we made it through the traffic jam, we turned onto highway 45 for a scenic back roads adventure. The landscape was really beautiful. We drove by some beautiful old farms that were nestled in between the drumlins. We stopped for a lunch in a little town called Hastings, where Aaron took us for a fine meal of fish and chips. Thanks again Aaron.
