Vacation Up North 1942

My mother with her Tante Meta, and cousin Margot Baer. My mother went along on this vacation to help take care of Joanne Baer who was an infant at the time. Also, my mother told me that because this trip was during the war that Louis Baer hoped they would not get a flat tire as (due to the shortage of rubber) there was no spare.
