The drive was pretty, lots of farm land. When we made it to boarder control (I guess that's what you call it) the guy asked like 100 questions. And he asked where we were going and we said, "The first town we come to so we can get some Canadian money and buy something small." So he eventually checked our trunk and gave us the OK to go.
It seemed like we drove forever once getting over the boarder! But we finally made it to the small town, which I really liked. (I will have to post the name of it later when Drew is around) And would you believe it?!?! They had a CO*OP store!! They had those in Europe. So we parked and Drew went in, and took like 10-15 minutes. But he eventually came out with two candy bars, "Mr. BIG" (which by the way were AMAZING!!) and some Canadian money. And he was ready to drive away and leave. I said, "Wait a minute!! You mean you are going to take me to Canada and not let me get out of the car?!!?" So he let me go in and look around. I noticed that they sold the juices in the boxes like Europe does, which was pretty cool. And I don't know if it was because it was a small town or what but everything seemed a bit expensive there.
So I went out to the car and we left for home. Getting through the US boarder control was not hard at all, maybe because we were returning home. Pretty much all the guy asked was if we purchased any fruits or vegetables that we were bringing back to the States. And I said to him, "Nope, just two Mr. BIG bars." And he let us be on our way.
The whole trip took like two hours. Which was good because Drew only had about two hours before he had to be at work, before we even decided to go to Canada. As long as we have a little extra time and money I do not mind these spur of the moment things that we do.
