Quebec City- Canada

Bailey and I took a trip last week and weekend to Quebec City, Quebec in Canada. Bailey won the trip through work. We stayed in one of the oldest and most beautiful places I have ever seen, met some great people, and even spoke a little French while we were at it. We really missed George, and I even got a little teary one night when were out at a pub and saw a little one about his age with his parents. We went to this pub with hopes to find the State/ Vandy game on television.(Because every Canadian wants to watch MSU football, right?) But Bailey and I and another faithful State fan that was with us on the trip, went to about five different pubs, and surprise surprise.....all hockey... and no SEC football. We had a great time in the process of finding the game though.

Quebec City, is probably as close as you can get to going to Europe without crossing the Atlantic. Even though it was freezing cold....40's and 50's most days with biting wind....we had a wonderful time. We took tours, walked up and down three thousand hills, ate our weight in French type food (think wine, bread, and cheese), and just took in the culture of one of the neatest places I have ever been!!

This is the spot where they filmed the ending scene in the movie Catch Me if You Can. Speilberg didn't want to change continents, so he saved money and just simulated Europe in the heart of Quebec City. It would be very easy to do there.

The view from our hotel room.

Cobblestone streets and sidewalk cafes were everywhere....so charming

At Montmercy Falls. We had breakfast here overlooking the waterfall one morning.

Our hotel: The Fairmont Chateau de Frontenac

It is one of the most photographed hotels in North America.

beautiful

Montmercy Falls.......much higher than Niagra..just not as massive. It was breathtaking.

It is tradition there to have many different colored roofs.

I would recommend this place to anyone!! It was amazing!!!!

Bouncin around the room!!

George was loving his bouncer the other day as we got ready to watch the MSU vs. JSU game. He had his first "real" sickness with real fever that weekend, so we didn't go to the game. As you can see, he was feeling much better by game time. I guess gameday cures most ailments for men.

Who needs real toys???

Who needs toys when you can just open the cabinets?

Hiding my brand new two pearly whites!!

George has changed so much in the last few weeks. He has two brand new teeth that literally came in overnight. He is army crawling everywhere, and we are kind of baby proofing as we go. I can't take my eyes off him for a second because he is so busy and into everything. It is amazing the difference a mobile baby makes in your life. Tonight he was taking a bath, and he literally started to try to climb out of the tub. He is one wild little man who gets sweeter by the day!!
