Which
of the following is important to you when you're planning a family vacation?
a) To buy as many souvenirs as possible.
b) To vacation with neighbors or friends from home.
c) To have every minute of every day packed with busy activities.
d) To spend time together as a family.
The answer, of course, is "d." And we found just
the place to do it and have a great time: Canada.
Last summer my family and I enjoyed a fabulous family vacation at
Cedar Point Lodge on Eagle Lake, Ontario. Grandma and Grandpa Hutchison
babysat my youngest daughter, 1-year-old Becky, while we were in Canada.
I was joined by my husband, Jeff, daughter, Kayla, 5, and son, Brian,
3.
To break up the trip, we drove on Friday from Green Bay to Duluth,
where we stayed overnight in a hotel.

We arrived at Cedar Point Lodge in
plenty of time to get settled and enjoy a good night's rest on Saturday.
It wasn't a normal Sunday for the Young family. We got up early
and went fishing!
Our guide, Warren Kujansuu, showed us how to catch a lot of walleyes
and a few pike. It was a riot in the boat with three adults and two children.
It seemed as though when one person got a bite, two people were reeling
in fish at the same time.
Kayla caught the most fish in the morning, which was good since
we were having a shore lunch at noon. Brian caught enough to keep him
interested and excited. I think it says a lot that we spent the
entire day on the water and returned to the lodge just in time to get cleaned
up for supper.
The weather was changing from summer to fall. The first two days,
it was hot and muggy. For the rest of the trip, it was cool and great
"jeans" weather.
