It happens only once a year... the last Friday of June. It's Engineer's Day at the Soo Locks! This is when you get the chance to actually walk across the lock gates and look around on the interior grounds of the locks. Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Jack think it's pretty cool... not sure the kiddos were as into it as we were... lol!
We also visited the Valley Camp. It's a lake freighter that's been turned into a museum. After a day of touring around we then headed to the shops to finish souvenir shopping. We ended the day back at the hotel so the kids could go swimming, and we had dinner in the room... pizza, of course!
Tomorrow we make the long trip back to Ohio... boo! :(
