Quebec, Montreal, and Ottawa
Today we ate our last free breakfast and checked out of our hotel room. We asked the hotel to keep some of our bags and we headed back to Mooney's Bay Beach. People were setting up some equipment for a volleyball tournament and festival tomorrow so we'

Today...you guessed it...free breakfast! It was the first day of rain and it was a mix of showers and some heavier downpour. Big thanks to Bryan for lending us umbrellas for the day! We started off with trying to find parking after failing in one lot. After a

Today again started off with free breakfast. Then we visited a beach which entertained the kids for an hour. We started digging a deep well, which slowly eroded from the water. It got bigger as we kept digging and we dug a canal from the water to our pool to

Today was our last half-day in Montreal. We started the day with more Montreal bagels. Then we went to Mont-Royal park where at the top there is a great view of the Montreal skyline. It was hot so we finished quickly and drove to a place to look

Today we paid a visit to the Botanical Garden or Jardin Bontanique. On the way, we stopped at the famous Schwartz's Deli to grab some lunch for later. We ate it between the gardens and it was so tasty. We see why it's a famous place.

Today began by....eating Bok Choy and watching TV. The ultimate duo. After getting ready, we braved the heat and made a stop at Tim Hortons. This time they had steeped tea (thé infusé) and they even had a carrot cake muffin with cream cheese frosting in it. It was

Once we got up, we drove to the out-skirts of Quebec City to visit the Montmorency Falls. On the way, we stopped by a cafe which was highly recommended by a friend to get pistachio croissants. The place is called Les Cafés Du Soleil and we all highly recommend

We started the day by rolling around in bed. Thanks to the time difference it wasn't that easy to get going. But we got going by walking along the fortifications of Old Quebec. The streets are really cute here and feel really European. We were a bit surprised

We woke at 8:00 am and took our time getting ready as our flight was at noon. The flight itself was pretty chill with only mild turbulence. You could hear the occasional cheering if Brazil scored a goal in the FIFA Cup. Once we had landed, it was 6:
