Canada

We made it to Canada in a day and a half, from Knoxville. We stopped at a park and let the girls and dogs play before we entered Canada. It was also a Vietnam Memorial, a nice stop. Once we got to the border we had to take the dogs off and 5 patrol agents got on our bus and searched it for illegal things, guns and drugs. they opened every cabinet, which I saw stuff fall out on one of them. After 5 minutes we were clear to leave, what a greeting. We have a great spot at the RV park, we had our friends join us, their RV park was not so great. This place is right on the lake. with a dog beach, a playground and lots of shade. I don't think it ever got over 80 degrees. We made a fire, roasted marshmallows and had a nice sunset on the beach, then went back to make dinner. Kelly called from the golf tournament while we were making dinner. He is friends with Bret Hull, who is an ex-hockey player who lives in Dallas and is here for the pro-am tournament. Well Wayne Gretzky invited Bret and Kelly to sit with him at his table. Gretzky had his own wine there from his vineyard, he gave Kelly an autographed bottle. The Williamsons that our staying here with us are big Gretzky fans, their dog that is here, his name is Gretzky. so Kelly brought them a bottle too and got a golf ball autographed for their oldest son. We are having fun at the RV park, the girls and I might get to go Friday and watch a few holes, but we are pretty much stuck here with no car, thank goodness the Williamsons are here to play with.
