We Hit The Road for Quebec…

March 6, 2010

The Running Man is still bummed that the U.S. lost to Canada in hockey for Olympic gold. When I tried to explain that it wasn’t so bad since 1) we still won a silver medal, and wouldn’t that be so fun to have? and 2) it was like losing to a favorite cousin, he just scowled at me. Luckily, I know when to drop it and move on.

Nonetheless we found ourselves with a long weekend and where are heading?

Yes, Canada. So apparently my favorite cousin comment found some pleasant reception somewhere.

Here was the real draw:

This is the Chateau Frontenac, a Fairmont hotel, where we’ll be staying.

Doesn’t that look like it’s worth an 8-hour drive?

Now because its the beginning of March and obviously not the height of tourist season, we’re taking advantage of some seriously discounted room rates.

The adorables and I have been practicing our “Merci” and “Si vous plait” in the car. My french is rusty at best.

Can’t wait! Any restaurant recommendations or things we should do?

Happy weekend all!

P.S. Monday’s giveaway is a GOOD one!

We spent the night in Sherbrooke last night and man, is my French terrible! And yes, we’ve already stopped at Tim Horton’s!
