So, when Darryl and I moved to Montreal...in August 2002...I was pretty excited about all the things we were going to get to do and see. I knew that there were places I wanted to go and things I wanted to do. Now, here we are, almost 5 years later, and I'm just trying to finish my list!!
Here it is:
1/ Skihills and more skihills!!
We wanted to snowboard on as many hills as we could. And we did. We snowboarded about 12 hills since we moved to Quebec and I loved it. My top picks would be Sutton (in the Eastern Townships) and Le Massif (outside Quebec City). Quebec has awesome hills. And I can't wait to get Shamus and Breagha on a snowboard!! And I'm happy that my brother also snowboards so we got to try out a lot of these hills with him.
2/NHL game. And we can't complain...we've been to a few games in Montreal and in Ottawa - thanks to Duane! Of course I have not cheered for the Habs yet!!! Go Leafs Go!
3/Quebec City. What an amazing city. It's beautiful, has great history, great culture, and it's only a couple of hours away. I would tell everyone to go to Quebec City if they get the chance. I love going there and the Chateau Frontenac is so amazing to see.
4/Cirque du Soleil. Great show. Darryl loves Cirque du Soleil so I bought him tickets for his birthday a couple of years ago...to find out that he had also bought me tickets for my birthday! So, we went and we loved it. It's amazing what they can do. I'd love to get to another show but I'm happy that I got the chance to see it at all!!!
5/New York City!! Wheee-hoo! This is an exciting one for me! The tickets are bought, the hotel is booked, and I bought the Broadway tickets the other night! We're going to see "Tarzan" and I can't wait! It looks awesome! Check it out: http://disney.go.com/theatre/index.html#home
This will bring you to the Disney Broadway website. You can see a bit of the play if you click on "Tarzan". I'm really excited about it! We go in June and Darryl's parents are staying with the kids! Thank you Shirley and Duncan!!
6/Just For Laughs. I've wanted to get to the Just For Laughs Festival since we arrived here. Well, I finally bought the tickets and we're going in July!!! The show is called "Defending the Caveman" and it's suppose to be really funny and this is the first time it's come to Montreal. So, I hope we like it!!
And that's my list. Of course there were other small things...like getting to Vermont...we went camping there, seeing the province of Quebec...more camping and snowboarding, and then just enjoying what Montreal has to offer. We've been to the Jazz Festival, we've been to the St. Laurent sidewalk sales, we've gone to Old Port for Canada Day, we've gone to Old Port for the Fireworks, we've been to the Christmas parades, skated on Old Port and LaFontaine Park, and just enjoyed the wondering streets of downtown Montreal.....the list goes on. I think we've done pretty good.
So, basically, once we do the trip to NYC and see the Just For Laughs show, we're ready to see somewhere new!!
Actually, I've been really enjoying things on the West Island lately. So, we'll just have to see where things take us.
And that's it!!!
