Quebec!

Before I move on to our trip to St. Louis, and our fun thanksgiving (complete with pilgrims and Indians), I wanted to post a little bit about our trip to Quebec. Thanks to Brad's parents and Bridgette and Gary, who watched our kiddos, Brad and I were able to spend a long weekend away. Thank you so much for watching the girls, it was so nice to get away and know we didn't need to worry about the girls. Thank you Thank you!

Brad and I drove up the first night. We talked, drank our Moxie, and watched out for moose. We did eventually see and successfully navigate around one who was standing barely off to the side of the road. When we finally got to Quebec, we found the city to be bustling. The night life was interesting {in a good way}. Just across from our hotel, there was a dance club with 2 story tall ghosts that danced outside it's doors. We got the least expensive room we could find. Brad carried our bags upstairs and just before he opened the door, he looked back at me and said, "Don't expect too much." He carefully opened the door and smiled. We were pleasantly surprised at our small, well decorated, funky, clean room. Clean being the most important part =0). We spent our days there doing whatever we wished. We went on a great AAA walking tour, thanks to our handy AAA guidebook. We walked all over the city, ate some of the best sushi we have ever had. Ate a few interesting things Brad ate on his mission. etc. etc. My favorite thing we did was definitely visiting the many art galleries in the old section of the City. Although eating pasteries was high on the list......insert licking of lips here. Oh the food.....the beautiful, interesting, delicious food, I could go back just for the food really! Here are a few pictures.
