This morning was yet again another gorgeous day! The weather here has been absolutely and unseasonably fantastic. We start off with sweatshirts until about 10 am, and today, we all would have been in shorts if we could have been!
The day started with a visit to the one of the highest rated French bakeries in the city. Simply put: to die for good!
Then, it was off by car to the Biodome, Insectarium and Botantical Gardens. The Biodome is in an old Olympic venue, and it has been converted to a sort of an indoor animal exhibit based on a variety of climate factors. The Insectarium speaks for itself, and the Botantical Gardens, while beautiful, proved to be a highlight solely for it having a playground! Bret slept on two different park benches (not creepy at all), and Grant and Grace made a little French speaking friend, proving once again that language isn't a barrier to seven year olds!
We tried Candian fast food for lunch. Let's just say that Chic Fil A and Zaxby's have nothing to worry about if this place comes into town.
Then, on the way back to the hotel, we all fell asleep. Bret took that to mean "let's go explore this mountain village an hour away." But, in the end, we had a great time walking around the shops, looking at the fall colors (no, really, I have NEVER seem leaves like this!), and checking out both an ice cream shop (complete with French cartoons) and a chocolate shop.
After a stop in Montreal suburbia for new tennis shoes for Grace and some Lebanese food, we were in for the night.

Tomorrow: a lazy day around Old Montreal, Notre Dame, and maybe a bike ride down along the river!
