Day 3 - Continuing the great drive...

   So I officially know what it feels like to be a homeless person! Well a homeless with a bit of money that is! And to be honest, I'm kinda loving it!😜 Got ready for bed in a Taco Bell last night, slept in a parking lot and had the most amazing shower at a Flying J this morning!

I'm absolutely loving this road trip thing! I'm having a blast just taking my time, enjoying the sights and stopping to do whatever my little heart desires!
   I stopped in Parry Sound to take a break from the road

And get some groceries...and ICE!! It is boiling hot here now and I'm pretty sure I'll have to crack the car windows tonight! 
   I'm learning the key to living out of your car is organization! Everything has its own little spot and always has to find its way back there! And since I'm not sharing my car with anyone...it's not a problem! Lol!
   My only complaint so far is that God didn't make certain parts of my anatomy big enough!😊 Anyone who has road tripped with me before knows I have to make more pit stops than a pregnant lady!😂 It's seriously rediculous! So to keep me occupied I've invented a game....trying to make my anatomy behave itself until my trip odometer says it's been at least 100km since the last pit stop!😆 so far it's 20 - 0 for the odometer! Lol!
   Anyway, all that to say, less than an hour after leaving Parry Sound it was time to stop again...but this time I'm thrilled I did! I found the CUTEST little gift shop and ice cream parlour! Blackberry white chocolate ice cream in a home made waffle cone for the win!!


   Well back on the road I'm merrily making my way along, enjoying the divided highway...when to my surprise I all the sudden am merged into a 3 lane highway! So I sit up a little straighter and adjust! Then all the sudden I look around and realize my 3 lanes have become 5 lanes! I'm already doing 120 in a 100 zone just attempting to keep up, and there's vehicles passing my on either side as if I was standing still!😱 Then my 5 lanes turn into 7!! Good thing I love big city driving! But when your exit only has one lane exiting right in the middle of 4 other exiting lanes, and then the vehicle right in front slams on his brakes causing you to miss rear ending him by mere inches and making you brace for the unavoidable crash from behind....!!! Let's just say I was grateful to make it to my Huskey Travel Centre all in one piece without even a scratch! Lol!
   Oh and random fact...apparently my resting spot is also home to 4-5 cats and a rather "friendly" skunk!😳
   Oh well, now that my nerves have calmed and my car is all prepped for sleeping, I think I shall hit the hay!
   Have a lovely night all!
