Quebec City

 

Last summer, we stopped through Quebec City for a night on our way from Baxter State Park to the Saguenay Fjord.  We were so struck by the city's charm, beauty, and food.  I immediately knew I wanted to come back for a longer visit and thought my parents would love it.



While we were in the DR after Christmas, Cally mentioned that she didn't understand why Grandma and Bumpa were taking us on a trip for their anniversary and questioned why we weren't taking them on a trip.  So, we decided to make it happen.


Fortunately, Aunt Nif and cousin Will decided to join us, as well.  I did a bunch of research about "kid friendly" activities and restaurants and we did a lot.  The first night, we ate at a Creperie
