montreal update part 2

i spent the week in montreal with adam and kayla and then on friday morning mom and dad flew into town. 

 

we picked them up at the airport and took them for brunch to Faberge
 

it was a great way to start a weekend filled with site seeing, good food and a few drinks.


we did a lot of walking around different neighbourhoods,


the weather was so nice out, and the traffic was crazy due to a bike race 


so we took to the streets by foot.


along the way some yummy food was sampled, like this pain au chocolat


we found a pub or two along the way (drinks just ordered)

adam's place is too small for all 5 of us to stay the weekend so me and the folks found a place on air bnb only a block away from adam's. 


mom and dad got to sleep on the upper mezzanine level.


we toured around the city, down at the old port of montreal
 

and checked out old montreal, 
 

and we did some site seeing from mount royal lookout
 

the place we stayed at also had a roof top patio, so one night we hit the bottle shop and enjoyed a few drinks before dinner

it was a great weekend family holiday. we ate lots of bagels, walked heaps, enjoyed the local beers, and got to hang out all together - a rare treat!
