Doors of Quebec

For some odd and unknown reason, while we were in Quebec I really enjoyed all the different doors I was seeing. So I did what any good blogger would do, photographed them so I could share them with you! Quebec City really is quite a charming little place. If you ever get a chance to go, jump on it. :)







Happy Friday folks! ♥

Quebec City, Canada // Montmorency

The second day of our adventures took us to Montmorency Falls right outside of the city. It's actually higher than Niagara Falls.. but not quite as impressive from what I've been told. Nevertheless, it was a lovely day for a walk around it and then a cable-car ride back to the top!


The cable bridge above the falls.. super cool! Although not for the faint of heart.. :)
Sis & I rocking the Keens. 
You can climb up the 275+ feet to the top via rocks and ropes. Not my idea of a good time, but these people seem to like it.

The city in the distance :)


God's creation is SO big..and we are SO little. 

We headed into the city again, this time to the Fort and the Observatory (for a view from higher up). 


The old-town feel of Quebec City is beautiful..
..and might secretly be Hogwarts.
The view from the observatory.. absolutely lovely. :)


The parliament buildings, old city, and the fort.


The city reminded me a bit of my time in France. :)


Back at our campground we enjoyed one last night of exploring, sitting by the lake, and cooking over the campfire.



..and then we packed the car and headed towards the border with lots of memories. :) Hope you enjoyed! ♥

Quebec City, Canada

It all started out with a conversation at a family picnic. What if we went on an adventure with my cousin? Where would we go? What would we do? Well.. we headed north to good old Canada. That's where our adventure began..

We explored old markets.


We wandered the streets of the city, stopping in local shops and admiring the local talents.

We ate blueberries in a park with this view:


We were charmed by the European feel of the town.

We listened to sweet music on street corners.

We walked the Terrasse Dufferin while sipping Starbucks.
We got lost.

We watched an artist at work.

We explored beautiful churches with history abounding.

We weaved through the markets with old brick buildings surrounding them.



We practiced our French-speaking abilities..not very well I'm afraid.



We cooled off in refreshing fountains.

We camped outside the city in a (slightly) weird campground.

We cooked sweet potatoes over the fire and hamburgers & corn on the grill.



..and we continued our adventures the next day.. :)
