West Coast - Day 20

Our final day of vacation was a long travel day, as we drove the 700+ km from Calgary to Regina. The day did not start out well, as neither kid went to sleep until real late and neither was very interested in breakfast. However, we made the trip from Calgary to Medicine Hat without problems. After lunch in Medicine Hat, we drove home. Both kids fell asleep fairly quickly, and there were no real problems until between Swift Current and Moose Jaw, when Evan got pretty restless. We put the DVD on for the rest of the trip.

My biggest difficulty during the drive was that it was very windy and the wind was blowing straight across the highway. We passed a semi-trailer that had flipped over just outside Swift Current, and I had to fight the steering wheel all the way home. In fact, my hands and forearms really started hurting in the evening.

The boys (and myself) were very happy to see their home and all their toys. Thus ends our family vacation for this year.
