Sarah and Ben's Canadian Adventure

Ok I know the name sounds kinda stupid but this is what my Dad called the trip when we were booking the plane tickets on expedia.  This whole trip came about when I was thinking that I really wanted to see my Grandfather, "Grandpa Duke" this summer.  So I started looking at my schedule and the only time that made sense for me to go was in a week, I asked my girlfriend Sarah on a limb if she wanted to go which she said yes but she would have to check with her parents and see if she could take off work.  Mr. and Mrs. S said yes and before we knew it we were heading to Canada on Sarah's very first plane ride.

Thats a picture of the plane right before we got on.  First we arrived in Cincinnati where it was pouring rain and I was very happy we were inside the airport.  The only problem was our next plane wasn't, and while the ground crew where refueling the plane they left the door wide open and according to the lady on the loud speaker the plain was flooded and needed to go to maintenance so we were delayed for about 2 hours until we finally got another plane and flew to Toronto.  

When we got to Toronto we were picked up by Deeter who works for Grandpa Duke as his driver and proceed to head off to the LCBO to pick up some wine.  The wine we picked up was a huge load bigger than Deeter thought and he got angry and threatened to quit as Grandpa Duke said like an old gal but than calmed down and helped us take some of the wine to a nice restaurant where we had lunch called Monsoon.  It was a really cool Asian restaurant and were absolutely stuffed after lunch, and we still had a big dinner coming that night at Bill Loins house, one of my Grandpa's oldest friends.  On the drive to Bills house Grandpa Duke realized a mix up in one of the orders and was worried about that for a while but eventually thought of a way to fix it.  After debating the wine mix up we arrived at Bill Loins gigantic house, Sarah described it as a fairy tale house.  Bill has hundreds of horses, swans, and beautiful house and a wife paulette who is funny and a sensational cook.  The dinner she had prepared was huge and we were all still full from lunch at Monsoon.  To start we had white wine and curry shrimp, then we had french bread and butter, short ribs, corn on the cob, salad, brussel sprouts, french cheese, fruit, and for dessert delicious creme brule.  The sad part is that I was so full already I had to shove alot of the food down and was not able to enjoy it.  Oh and on another note they had a bunch of dogs and one dog oscar in particular who was a Great Dane was huge, coming up to about my shoulder.  It was more like a dog than a bear.  After a wonderful evening and a day full of traveling though Sarah, Grandpa Duke and I got a ride from Bill to Grandpa Dukes house, the "Stone House."  Then shortly after we arrived we went to bed.

This is the first post for the Canada trip more to come soon.
