Quebec City Day 2: Off to a great start with a run with Eli. We found this lovely park just a few blocks from our place.
Turning right along the St. Charles river, there's also this public pool--one of several we discovered.
The old port, then stairs up and down into the heart of the lower town.
Stellar mural!
More stairs as we ran on top of the city walls instead of through the gates.
Love this boy! Thanks for running with me.
For the days' main adventure, we headed to Montmerency Falls Park, just a few minutes drive outside of Quebec.
These falls are actually 30 feet taller than Niagara.
The view is best from the far side. Charles and Susie, you look younger every year!
As for your grandkids, they keep growing!
Making our way down the 487 step staircase.
Talia and Eli, you too are adorable! I'm so glad that our kids generally like each other.
Also, I'm SUPER impressed that Christy climbed up and down all those stairs with her recovering knee. Way to go Ziggy!
Grandma Susie wanted to zipline, and Eli was more than happy to accompany her!
Gearing up! Eli had to wear some extra weight to make sure he got all the way across.
In case you don't make it, we love you too!
Hey, zoom in on those two tiny dots in the middle of the river.
Incoming! What a fun experience.
Smiles everywhere.
Back for some relaxation at the AirBnB. As you can see, while well-located, the place had its concerns. Half of the rooms were in this "annex" accessed by a super-rickety, somewhat rotting staircase.
Now for some play time at the splash pad we discovered earlier that morning.
Ruby's queen of the mountain!
Violet looks like she's enjoying herself too.
In the evening, a few of us went to get ice cream at this place called Glacier Aberdeen. We were so surprised to discover this HUGE line of people all waiting for their cones. We took it as a good sign that it would be tasty.
Cute section of town too.
No matter where you are in the world, ice cream is delicious! Depending on my fancy, one spoonful can transport me to places exotic or back to the familiarity of home.
