\nYou see, my
\nfamily chose to spend our summer weekends hiking the wilderness and
\nthen exploring a new town. We got some exercise, saw some natural wonders,  tried new food and then
\nchecked out any area flea markets or antique malls  (as anyone who has been to my face book page knows, I like this sort of thing<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/span>

the “non toy part” of the day<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nOn our first  trip, I visited the awesome Bounty Hunter Toys<\/b> <\/a>in Hamilton Ontario, where I got a
\nfantastic deal on a talking GI Joe in the box. He wasn’t perfect but his price was more than fair and he kept telling me he “had a tough assignment for me.”<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nI took that assignment by trying to pick a
\nwell loved Joe everywhere I went the next two months.  <\/span><\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/span>
\nI struck out a lot, often passing on overpriced ones but as our family adventures continued, I had some luck finding some gently used adventurers.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nNow, each
\nfigure reminds me of one of those trips, even the Man of Action<\/b>, who was angrily
\npurchased online the day we got lost in the woods for 3 hours.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

With summer over, so ends my Joe quest, they will remain above my desk, as a reminder of time well spent.<\/span><\/span>
\n
Thanks for reading, hope you have an awesome labour day weekend.<\/span><\/span>
