Travelling in the the 1940s

I'm off on a roadtrip tomorrow to Nova Scotia.  It's going to be a brief visit - just a week - but long enough to get Kate settled into the house she will be living in next year at university and to see a few of the sites.  I'm so excited.  I love the maritimes and I love a road trip.  Sounds like the perfect end to the summer to me!

This photo of my Grandmother, my mother and my aunts on their way to the Georgian Bay cottage was taken in the 1940s.  When they went to the cottage in those days you really had to go prepared because it was a long way to the nearest grocery store - thus the big trailer full of goods.  We will be packing almost as much stuff, given that we have things for Kate's new house, but we will be in a truck camper.  I'll be posting about it when I get back and I have some posts lined up for when I'm away.

Have a good last week of summer - sniff sniff!

  2. Grace, I absolutely LOVE that snap shot! I love the lady waving out of the front seat! The whole thing packed up too.

    Hope your adventure goes smoothly. I'm so envious. It is a pure dream to visit the east coast.
