Vaccination road trip to Tillsonburg

I was born in a small town...

When your youngest munchkin gets a vaccination appointment, you take him, even if it’s a few towns over.

And so we found ourselves rolling through the countryside on a perfectly sunny-and-blue-sky Friday afternoon. Henrietta 2.0 the Honda was in fine form, with road trippy tunes floating out her open sunroof. I would have been just as happy driving further with him. That time thing, you know. We never get enough.

Pandemic protocols being what they are, I waited outside the community centre. Carmi being who he is, I wandered around with my camera, because some days deserve to be remembered in pixels.

Tillsonburg is a lovely town around an hour east of here, and their community centre is a showpiece, the kind of carefully considered multipurpose facility that makes life extraordinary for those lucky enough to live here.

I got a tiny taste of it trudging between fairgrounds, baseball fields, and hockey arenas. I didn’t have much time to play with, but it was just long enough to feel the warmth of this place.

And as our happily vaccinated Noah returned to the car and we turned for home, I found myself already looking forward to coming back here in a couple of months for his second dose. Some places don’t take long to imprint themselves on us.

Some days are just a little more special than others thanks largely to who we spend them with, and how.
