A beautiful weekend in Quebec




The Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City, Quebec

I figured I'd post tonight while I'm sifting through the pictures from this weekend as this coming week is going to be quite busy. Summer has officially come to an end.

We had a fantastic time with our neighbors, and good friends, the Tobeys. The drive to Quebec is about 6 hours - a short jaunt in the lives of the traveling Johnson's - but we managed to stretch that into 12 as we stopped at Ben and Jerry's (a must) and in Burlington, Vermont. Car trips are always an adventure and everyone, including the babies, had fun. Grady was an absolute mess by the time we got out of the car. He really enjoyed the mini Oreos!

Conner was a great sport on Sunday when he climed 400 steps, as well as walked the old city. He enjoyed riding the Ferry across the St. Lawrence and seeing the Chateau, known now as "The Castle." As I watched him interact with our friends during our trip it was so hard to comprehend how old he is getting. Selim commented on how good and sweet he is and I just couldn't agree more.

Our weather could not have been more perfect. Low 70s during the day and 50s at night. We enjoyed dinner and wine on the porch of the bed and breakfast Sunday night and great company all weekend. I think we'll all sleep very well tonight...joyously exhausted!

I love my boys!!
