Our Country Squire Station Wagon
Somewhere in Upstate NY
Summer of 1967
We were headed to the World's Fair in Montreal, Canada in July, 1967. I had just finished the 6th grade and so excited to take this big adventure. It took us two days to get there. After getting up so early in the morning and packing a picnic lunch, we drove to my great aunt's home, in NY, somewhere on a lake. Our grandparents had also driven up here with us. We arrived mid afternoon, went swimming in the lake, took a boat ride and had a great time.
The next morning, we piled in to our station wagon that was filled with our suitcases, magazines to entertain us, another picnic lunch and the eight of us. Every inch of space was taken. And off we went to another country. I felt worldy.
