We would like to wish our dear friend Mary Ann a very happy birthday today!
And we just happened to have a recent picture. Jim had invited us up to the family cottage in Saint Donat QC. But as per usual, we couldn't commit to a date. Then one day I got up and decided that we should go. So we left, and checked with Mary Ann on the way, to see if it was still ok to come. We only got as far as Quebec City on the first day. Stayed at a Best Western in downtown, and had a great meal. Next morning we were up early, and parked on the Plains of Abraham. I wanted Sarah to experience the Governors Promenade.
Oops. Wrong stairs. Let's go back up and find the right ones.
This is good. I can do this...
OK... Now the bad words are coming. I am texting these pictures to the kids, getting quite the array of responses.. Some say "beautiful view" and others say bad things about me.
But we make it to the end, and here Sarah is in front of the Chateau Frontenac. I go back and get the car and as soon as I am out of sight, she sits quickly on a bench and breaks her phone, which is in her back pocket. Maybe she was tired...
Next stop... the cottage.
Very nice...
So, first things first... A beer and a boat ride...
Chris & Emily were there when we got there, and had been all week.
On Friday, after breakfast, we drove into Saint Donat, then boating in the afternoon, and David arrived that evening.
Saturday was a great day. After a walk and breakfast, we spent the rest of the day on the lake. Bonfire, beer, water skiing and tubing.
If one can judge a vacation by the pain you are in on the way home, this one was very successful. I couldn't cough for a week, and 18 days later I am still quite sore. I must have cracked or broken a rib or 2 while tubing. When I mentioned it to my doctor, all he did was ask me how old I was.
