Day 1: Revelstoke, BC

So, we made it through our first day of travel. Right now, we're trying to book a site for Alex, who lives here. Wejust got him the last site in the park!

We started off with growling stomachs, so we ducked into Drayton Valley for a McDonald's breakfast, which turned out to be the best food of the day. 'Lunch' was had at the Grizzly Cookhouse in Golden, BC; they advertised 'the best food on the Trans-Canada Highway'. We may get sued for slander if we comment any further, so we'll just leave it at that. The best thing there was Brett's drawing on the tablecloth.

The traffic was flowing pretty quickly and there were no major incidents. Brett was pretty excited about all of the tunnels we got to drive through. He was much less excited about Rhonda's offer to outfit him in all of the "highway clothes". Rhonda particularly enjoyed reading the multitude of signs on the road (however she read most of then silently so Brett wouldn't throw her out of the truck).

Right now, we're just kickin' back with a drink, and relaxing. I'm waiting for the big introduction to Alex Pash!

Things are good, we drove 600 kms today, time went quickly and everyone is still in the truck.
