Day 39 - Terrace

Today we made our way from Prince George west to Terrace. It's a 6 hour drive but everyone who takes it agrees that it feels much more like 12 hours. It's actually a nice drive for last couple hours and the highway itself is fine, but for some strange reason it just seems to never end, and this is coming from the people who just drove over 18,000 kms in 6 weeks. We pulled into Terrace in the evening and spent the time visiting with my Uncle Tom and Aunt Marilynn. We got to see there three dogs, including the two outdoor Huskies and there very much indoor Chihuahua Beanie. Uncle Tom has all the gadgets so we got to play PlayStation 3 and check out the Home Theater which truly is a Home Theater complete with projector, surround sound, tiered leather seating and massive screen. However don't try and convince Tom that this is good enough as he promises us it will be completely updated with the even more top of the line electronics the next time we visit. Tomorrow we will get to see Uncle Tom's new addition to the dental practice and my cousins new baby and new house.
