Finally, summer vacation. No more school. No more waking up early. No more homework. I finally get to stay home and just relax, with no one to bother me. Well, that was the plan I had to spend my summer vacation, until my mom got off the phone with my sister and decided we would all go on a family road trip. So, when my sister got home, mom and dad booked a flight to St. John's, packed up the car and we were off to go catch our flight. When the plane landed, we were not Ontario anymore, we were in St. John's, Newfoundland. A local citizen had told us a good place where we could rent a car for our six week journey, the convenient thing was, the airport had a car rental dealership called thrifty . So, we rented the only car available, a Toyota Matrix for 59 dollars per day.

We were starting our journey early, approximately at 8:30 am, mom and dad always said it was easier to start the day off earlier than later. So, we got in our rented car and drove to a park known as Pippy Park. We stayed at Pippy park for three days in a tent. During those three days, we went hiking and camped in the forest, one of the nights a calm storm had rolled with rain pouring over and each of the sides of the tent. In the morning we took our fishing rods and attempted to catch some fish, but we failed...big time. On our last day, my mom, being a fan of golf, stated that we should go play some golf, but we had no golf clubs, nor did my sister and I even know how to play. However, we walked to their golf course, to find out it was a mini golf course, not a big kid course, so they provided us with mini clubs and we played some mini golf. in the end, I ended up beating everyone, with four whole in ones.

Before I knew it, it was already time to leave St. John's and continue on with our journey to Quebec City.
