\"This<\/h3>\n

I hope you all are having a good holiday season! \u00a0Yankee went to Quebec City for work a couple of weeks ago, and he called me and said we had to return together. \u00a0The next thing I knew he had booked a room and planned a trip to this romantic European-feeling city. \u00a0A bonus to the week-end plans was that it was driving distance for us.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Quebec<\/p>\n

All of my pictures were taken on an iphone, so they are not the best quality or size. \u00a0I have to say we did feel as if we were in Europe with all the French being spoken and the charm of the old town. \u00a0Everything was decorated for Christmas in such a clever, classy way. \u00a0Here is one of the holiday windows. \u00a0They had lots of yummy treats in the window.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Canada<\/p>\n

Our hotel was right outside the walls of old city. \u00a0From our room we had a great view, and we could see people ice skating. \u00a0This is the only time the rink was not full. \u00a0I was shocked how busy it was and how many little kids were learning how to skate. \u00a0I guess that’s why hockey is one of the national pass times.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Girl<\/p>\n

These contraptions were all around the rink to help children learn to skate. \u00a0She was an older girl, but we saw some children that looked as if they had just learned to walk and already were on skates. \u00a0I said I would need one of these because I am not a good ice skater. \u00a0It was fun to watch and Christmas music was playing outside so we could enjoy the holiday tunes – in French, of course.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Holiday<\/p>\n

I loved all the holiday decorations. \u00a0I was stopping to take pictures so here you can see a little cafe all decked out in holiday garb.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Holiday<\/p>\n

The majority of places had window boxes, and I loved them. \u00a0This one was a real log turned into a holiday box.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Holiday<\/p>\n

Clay pots were used with lights and branches to be part of the holiday garland. \u00a0They looked like little bells. \u00a0They were so cute and clever.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Holiday<\/p>\n

The day was so sunny and super cold, but I loved the silver outside this restaurant. \u00a0I couldn’t tell what it was till I got closer.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Bubble<\/p>\n

Can you tell what it is? \u00a0It is silver bubble wrap cut into squares and put on a stake to make a Christmas tree. \u00a0Again, very clever.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Window<\/p>\n

More beautiful holiday boxes.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Holiday<\/p>\n

The picture is small but you can see rolling pins and old fashioned mixers in these boxes. \u00a0The hand mixers were bright red and looked great with the tree and greenery.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Crepes\"<\/p>\n

After all of the walking around and touring, we had to stop for some delicious crepes.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Quebec<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0I highly recommend taking a trip to Quebec City, if you can. \u00a0It was so much fun to go during the holiday season, and \u00a0it wasn’t packed with visitors. \u00a0Just remember to take some long underwear because it was cold.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Cheers!<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
