In my mind, I had great plans to take the kids somewhere warm, maybe tropical, cultural but like most families funds didn’t line up, planning wasn’t done and February break was around the corner.  One thing I knew for sure was I needed a quick getaway with my family. We decided to get an air B & B and drive up to Montreal Quebec for 2 nights and 3 days.  I will say my kids are pretty great in the car ( I think our x country trip has them well seasoned for long car drives. )  We had fun bundling up every day walking the city streets, listening to the beautiful French language, eating yummy food and warm drinks and extra snuggle time. One of the highlights was the Biodome. Next time we head up that way we may try again during the summer/spring, but if we didn’t go during the winter we wouldn’t have gotten to see the city night lights and attend Montreal en Lumiere festival. So if you have been wanting to hit up this charming city and may be hesitant with kids, don’t be! Go do it, it was easy to get around and lots to do!

Love & Joy
