Two flights + one new to us car + 2400km of driving + visits with friends and family along the way + "Let It Go" on repeat = a mama on the brink of insanity.
That is how the boys and I spent our spring break!
Friends of ours were selling a small car down in Prince George and we decided to buy it to drive around here in Faro to save miles on the truck and fuel costs too! I used aeroplan points to fly the boys and I down to Prince George and we left Matt behind in Faro since he had to work.
The trip was a blast! I went to university in Prince George and I got to spend a couple of days catching up with friends I hadn't seen in over a decade. There was also family there I got to have a huge turkey dinner with too!
We drove up to Dawson Creek to spend a couple of days with my parents and more visiting with friends and family. After that it was north to Fort Nelson to see my brother, sister in law, and my three nephews.
Finally, we made one long haul from Fort Nelson right through to Faro (about 1300km) in one day. The boys were excellent travellers and I had such a fun time hanging out with them this trip. We had great conversations, sang a lot, counted different types of vehicles, and enjoyed the fantastic scenery that northern BC and the Yukon have to offer.
Thank you to everyone that let us stay with them, fed us, and met up with us for visits!
And now.... a crap load of photos.

so much fun!
The hot springs look FUN! Tell us more about your visit there if you get the chance! You're so lucky to live in a corner of the north where you can get there in your own vehicle and see so much cool stuff along the way, too.
So that's where you were! I was starting to wonder. Sounds like a great trip!
what day were you at the hotsprings? Myself and a friend were there on march 20 coming back from a trip up to Tuktoyaktuk from Victoria.....Darrell
We were there on the 27th! Perfect day.
