March Break Adventures

The whole family took a trip to Kingston to spend the night at the Ambassador hotel. It has a waterslide so we thought this would be some good March Break fun for the kids. On our travels and much to our surprise we came upon many police cars just outside of the "Ford Collision Centre"....Little did we know that a train had derailed just behind that building the morning before. What we saw was a graveyard of wrecked cars. It was a horrible scene but one can only agree that thank the Lord it was not a VIA train. This picture was taken from the Kingston Whig Standard. What you don't see is the cars still way down the track and the mangled ones in the Collision Centre parking lot. After our adventure, we went to the hotel. The kids had an amazing time. We decided that we would head to the lounge for some wings. Unfortunatly, they did not have enough seats for all of us so we had to reserve for 45 minutes later. we ventured back down when our time came up...but they gave our table away. The Manager was now involved (he appreciated us telling him about a coffee spill in the elevator). We had special treatment in the Private dining room that seated 8 comfortably but could accomodate up to 16. The kids loved this....especially the 46" Plasma TV mounted on the wall.

On the way home, the kids saw a huge tank on its way to Petawawa on the back of a flatbed, as well as a truck with a damaged trailer. Looks like the gas tank blew a hole in the the trailer. Needless to say after all the "Are we there yets" and "How much farther", they did seem to enjoy the adventures. My question is...do I really want to drive to Florida????
