On the Road Again

Ben is on a car trip, on his way to Percé, on the Gaspé peninsula, in Quebec. He spent the night in a hotel in Woodstock, New Brunswick, and has had lots of fun. There is so much to explore in a new room, and the bed is absurdly big for such a little guy. He is particularly fond of the bathroom, and after his dad showed him once, he learned how to flush the toilet (repeatedly). He had another big adventure here, because the hotel has a pool. So Ben went swimming for the first time, which he found interesting but a little alarming. He liked to splash the water (just like the bath, but cooler) but kept a tight hold on his mom. His new swimshorts go down to his ankles -- long and baggy is the style nowadays.
