We had an early start today so it was good. The plan was to take the METRO downtown - leave the car at our hotel and walk around Old Montreal. We drove to the Namur Metro stop and headed for Champ des Mars station which is pretty much in Old Montreal. But before we boarded the Metro we had yet another good lunch at Dunn's restaurant located adjacent to the Namur station. The Montreal Metro system is a bit of an oddity - I'm pretty sure that in all the subway...

We were up and walking at 08:00 a.m. having to take a cab to the Parliament Hill ticket office. My back must have been twisted lifting Deborah's suitcase - it's always heavier than mine - I'm sure that was the reason. We made it on time and got our four FREE tickets to the Peace Tower and Parliament Hill tour. We picked the 2:20 pm tour so we have more than enough time to head to Micky D's for breakfast and coffee for the Hair's. From there we headed to the...

We've made it to Montreal in one piece. The drive was just shy of three hours as we took a leisurely drive along 417 into Quebec.

We spoke with Vikki and she confirmed that everything was set for our arrival, albeit not until 9:00 ...

I apologize for not publishing anything for a litte while - we've been busy. We left Toronto on-time, just after 10:00 a.m. and headed for the little town of Newcastle, Ontario to visit our Merida friends - Roberto and Denice. For years I drove past this place on the way to my cottage on Rice Lake, but I never made the time to stop in - it's a nice little hamlet on Lake Ontario. After a nice but brief stop at the Phippard's we headed out for our next destinati...

You know when you have one of those "Incredible" days in your life - today was one of those days. The girls decided that it was to be a "spa" day so to speak and they went off on their own, it left Aaron, Hannah and I time for some bonding. We headed to Sibbeald Point in Georgina Township - armed with a new BBQ, some wieners and buns we headed for the campground for some fun in the cold and windy sun. I've thought about days like today many, many times - it...
