We were very lucky that Paul and Lauren were able to drive up to spend a day with us in Montreal. With a full day of sight seeing ahead, we started our tour at the Biodome. Now, I realize that the bird above looks very cool, despite the poor quality due to the humidity, but it was in fact a killer bird. It swooped down from above and nearly took my head, scaring the ^&%$ out of me! Nevertheless, we enjoyed the visit and I kept thinking of how much Matthew would have loved looking at all the animals...oh wait a minute, he was also visiting animals while at Upper Clements with Nana, Grampy, and Sissy Anna (two very spoiled grandkids!!) :-)
After the killer bird incident, we were off to the Botanical Gardens - we only spent an hour or so there because we were then off to the Insectarium, but you could easily spend all day roaming the different gardens.
Parent's to be at the Chinese Gardens...Paul was disapointed that there was no Chinese buffet on site...
Me, Lauren, and baby nephew at the Chinese gardens.
Me and Chad in Vieux Montreal - it was lovely! Andrea also met us for a late lunch in Old Montreal and there was another killer bird incident while we were eating out on the patio - I could hear and feel the "swoosh" as it wizzed by my ear.
Notre Dame - very impressive! We sure crammed a lot into our two days...did I mention we also saw Chicago (Broadway is another obsession) - it was great even though we were so tired. As usual it was a busy, but nice get-a-way. We hope sometime we'll actually be able to vacation in these cities that we tour in two days!
