Glosette Girl and I decided to do something different for Easter this year. To mark the occasion we decided to take a whirlwind trip with Glosette Girl's family (including her parents, and Les Cousins!) to Montreal. The trip was extra special because we took the train. And not just any class - economy class!
It was a fun trip. Amazingly, despite all our traveling over the years, this was the first ever train ride Glosette Girl and I have taken together in Canada.
Montreal! The City of Love! The City of Lights! Wait a minute...
Montreal is an interesting city. It's not obviously attractive (architecturally) but there's a certain vibe, a certain artsy edginess that's cool to experience. Along with Quebec City, Montreal is often described in tourism books as a being a slice of Europe outside of Europe. And everyone knows the Easter bunny comes from Europe.*
Haha whatever. We came...
...we went to the Biodome....
...we hunted for chocolates...
and we had a big breakfast after a good night's sleep.**
A great mini-break!
p.s. Margot didn't miss the Easter bunny either. She wrote a nice letter to tell him where we were staying while we were gone to make sure he didn't skip our house.
Don't worry, he didn't forget :)
*Actually the Easter bunny was popularized by German settlers in the U.S. Close enough.
**One of Les Cousins! stayed in Margot's bed. It was a late night. Don't tell his parents!
That is some excellent jumping Simon. But why is no one else jumping? Or were you engaging in a bit of spontaneous, unpremeditated jumping to which the other photographees were not privy? Next time Simon, share your jumping urges, I feel sorry for the others in the photo, they're clearly disappointed that they did not think to jump too.
ReplyDeleteRelieved to hear the bunny made it all the way to Montreal, and very much hope it wasn't only the kids that got lucky. I mean, after the whole 'jumping' débâcle it would have been terribly unfortunate if the adults had also missed out on the chocolate.

Some people are born jumpers and some people are born not jumpers. Why? No one knows. It's one of life's great mysteries!
