Montreal!

It's been a while since we made it up to Montreal as a family.  What a difference a few years can make!  The kids were so much more excited to try new food and explore.  John was up in the big city for an AEE conference (Association of Experiential Educators), so we decided to join him for the last few nights.  I think we had as close to a perfect weekend as we could have had.

We started with dinner at a great Ethiopian spot with a crew of fun UVM students who were up at the conference.  Hazey managed to run into a parking meter on the way, but he survived:

 On Saturday morning, we started out with some delicious crepes and then headed to the Old Port to hit the IMAX movie about Predators.  It was a chilly walk by the water, but a gorgeous day.

The IMAX theater is at the Science Museum.  We'd been a few times, but this time the kids got pretty into it.

We were having so much fun, but we needed to take a break for lunch.  Hazey had poutine and we had kabobs

 We headed back to the Science Museum to spend the afternoon in the Maker Space.  It was amazing!

 We had a fun dinner at a small Italian restaurant.

On Sunday, we managed to hike up Mont Royal-- all 400 steps.  It was such a fun adventure.

Our weekend ended with a chaotic trip to Ikea.  It was a first for John.  Quite an experience.
