Ok, Ok, We are Back!

Yes, we made it back home safe and sound last week. THIS week just FLEW by! Why does that happen more often as the Spring and Summer arrive? My theory - we lasted through another Maine winter!!!!!!!!!

As promised, here are some of the pictures from Quebec City and then our fun stop at Ben and Jerry's Factory in Waterbury, Vermont.


Chateau Frontenac - a HUGE building. Lots of history here and the views from this vantage point were impressive. I had to keep reminding myself that we were looking down onto the St. Lawrence River - not the Atlantic Ocean. :)


From the other side!


One of the entrances into the walled city itself. Quebec City is the last city with a wall around the original footings in North America. Mexico is the closest place that has a walled city.


Taking a break from all the stairs we were climbing!


Montmorency Falls - just over 100 feet taller than Niagara Falls. And only about 12 miles from Quebec City.


And from the top looking OVER!


Here we are! Kevin, Janine, Chelsie and Alex. You can see the falls to Kev's - his left - side.


These murals were throughout the city. Any blank, concrete wall looks to be fair game. The artwork was incredible.


This is St. Anne de Beaupre Cathedral. This church was beautiful, the workmanship and artistry were breath taking. We actually arrived while a service was going on, so we sat in the back and observed. Mind you, we couldn't understand anything as it was all in French, but it was very neat to be in there at that time.


All tuckered out!


I wasn't allowed to take pictures in the Ben & Jerry's Factory, but I got these in the 'Tasting Room' once the tour was done. It's a Chelsie and Alex shake and then a Family shake!! :)



And this next one sums it all up!



We brought home some really cute B&J's ice cream bowls. Needless to say, they have been put to good use already!

Where's MY SPOON??!? :)
