Road Trip Day 7 & 8

Road Trip Day 7 Quebec - New Brunswick - Nova Scotia

We said our see yah laters to Anne-Claude and Noah. It still hadn't clicked in that we are moving away and won't get to see them whenever we please. So I didn't get all sappy and emotional like I usually do. I know we will keep in touch with Anne, Michee, & Noah, they have definitely become great friends.  I am looking forward to Noah and Willow meeting up again when they are older.

Ugh So Gorgeous

After driving for only about a half hour we saw a sign for a hike & waterfall... our two favorite things! We obviously had to make a pit stop and were happy we did.






Willow really loved all of the red leaves :p

After that beautiful little hike we got back in the car and drove through  New Brunswick and stopped for the night in Amherst, Nova Scotia.
My sleepy babes, how sweet are these two?

Day 8 Nova Scotia - Cape Breton

The final day we were all exhausted and tired of being in the car. We were excited to pick up the doggies from their "doggie resort". They shared a heated chalet on four acres of land. There was 12 other dogs staying at the resort so they made a lot of new friends over the week and had just as much fun as we did, I'm sure.

And that's it, that's all. We had a phenomenal vacay and hope to visit Quebec again!

Road Trip Day 6

Road Trip Day 6 Quebec

I spent the morning lazing around with the babies while Anne sold apples, and J braved the grocery store as an anglophone in a francophone community.

So I guess Willow is big for her age haha 6 months apart


We spent the afternoon at Mont Sainte Anne. I obviously had to pick up some poutine the real stuff with cheese curds, it did not disappoint!

Poutine a delicious Canadian delicacy ;)
Noah and Willow tied for being the cutest babes around
The leaves make me so unbelievably giddy. I get soooo excited from these colours
After stuffing our faces with the good stuff, a hike was definitely needed. Just across the road there was a beautiful hike that led to a stunning waterfall.






If you look at the left hand corner there is a little brown spot..

A beaver! I snuck as close as I could without disturbing him.

After such a beauty of a day we went back to drink beer and sell apples...
What a jokester.

Road Trip Day 5 Continued


Road Trip Day 5 Continued

 Quebec City is absolutely gorgeous. I highly recommend a visit out there. I wish we would have stayed longer to tour more of the city, I absolutely fell in love with what I did see. Old Quebec happened to be my fave! Buildings that are 100's of years old that still stand tall and proud. I have never been to Europe but from the pictures that I have seen there is a lot of similarities. It did not feel like I was in Canada, it is so different than anything I have ever seen. So stunning!

Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac





We went to an awesome place for dinner on an outdoor patio. We had a feast of wine, mussels, pizza, fries, salmon, and salad
