July 22 - Montreal

Up until yesterday (July 22), we had been blessed not to have any sickness on our trip. I should say that we continue not to have sickness, only a forgetful father. As many of you know Bailey is allergic to milk. As I was preparing scrambled eggs yesterday morning I used cow’s milk instead of soy milk. Just a moment when I wasn’t thinking. The result was that when I gave Bailey the eggs her stomach became upset. Thankfully she didn’t get much at all. She didn’t throw up, but her body rejected the milk. We decided to stay at the campsite until she got better with a willingness to skip seeing Montreal yesterday. About 1pm she was fine and we made lunch and ventured into the city. We decided to take the subway in because common sense tells us that there isn't much parking for RVs in downtown Montreal. We went up the highest inclined structure in the world to see the city from above and then we just walked downtown. Today we travel to Lake Placid, New York. One thing I should mention regarding our trip. Sheri and I have realized that we have scheduled the trip with 4 hours or less driving per day. We aren’t driving every day, but even when we do drive, 4 hours is too much. We are going to modify the trip after Yellowstone since that is a firm reservation we don’t want to change. Instead of going into Alberta and British Columbia, we are going to take our time seeing the West Coast and the Grand Canyon. I’ll miss seeing Banff and Lake Louise, Alberta. However, cutting that leg out will save us some driving time. Flexibility is a good thing.
