Bonjour de Montréal

We recently spent our delayed 10th anniversary in the European-esque city of Montreal. What a shock at how beautiful of a city it was.

Bienvenue à Montréal



Here we are in front of a little sidewalk cafe in Old Montreal (cobblestone streets and all) after enjoying a nice French lunch




Here is another cafe we ate at looking down at the fire truck maneuvering through the tiny historic streets. Brent could do that!





Here is Jessica relaxing and posing in front of our hotel that we stayed at the third night.






This is after a night of partying. No, Jessica has not gotten taller, she is standing on a step.



An interesting sculpture we found while walking the streets in the Arts District. Is that made of butter?




Same trip, different country



After getting hassled by the "man" at the US border, we finally made our way across over to Vermont to enjoy a little R&R on the shores of Lake Champlain. Darn lines!




Nice thunderstorms coming in.



Brent is cleaning off after getting mud kicked up all over him.



Vermont is very green. I guess the record rainfall they've received this summer has helped.




Who would have thought? Adirondack chairs looking out at the Adirondack Mountains




Vermont was pretty and serene, but our hearts were in Montreal, so we went back to the "Great White North" a day early.

Ahhhh. Finally, back to Canada, eh!





Au revoir le Canada

After three nights away, we were ready to see our girls, and they were ready to see us back at home. This is Daisy and Clara at 1 in the morning right after we drove up.

Hey Jess!! Corey & I were just in Montreal 3 weeks ago--we loved it! It did illustrate how rusty my French is, though! :-) Looks like you had fun!

What a great idea! Loved the pics especially the one of the girls in the wee hours of the morning.
