Ile d'Orleans, Quebec

My brothers' families joined us on our trip to Canada. In total we were 6 adults and 6 kids touring Canada. If you were in the vicinity and saw a loud and crazy group, it was probably us. One night, me and my two sister-in-laws took off for a girls night with the dads(aka my husband and two brothers) watching the kids. Don't worry about them, they had way too many nights out. The lady who worked at the Bed and Breakfast we stayed in, suggested a real nice area for us to hang out and we bar-hopped all night.

We followed her suggestion one more time and headed to a local hang out spot. Its a small island off of the city called Ile d'Orleans. Most of the local produce comes from this island like berries, breads, beets, wine and maple syrups. As you drive along, you will see churches, farms, garden shops, and beautiful houses preserved from a time from the past. A few of the  families who live here can be traced back to the 1600s.

Can you imagine working here in this nursery (as in where they sell plants) on a gentle hill overlooking St Lawrence river? May be its time to re-think my retirement plans !!!
