Canada and Vermont

Our hotel in Quebec

Our view from the hotel

















Vermont is my absolute favourite place of all......Pictures just don't do this place justice. I could easily move here and it's just not because of the beautiful scenery in Autumn, it's also because of the lifestyle this state has to offer. The beautiful homes and the little roads, creeks, old covered bridges and the little boutique shops. One minute you are driving over a hill with nothing in site and then you see a gorgeous home with a creek running behind it and a red quaker barn next to it. I highly recommend visiting Vermont!

Tonight we are staying in this magnificent hotel called Hotel Coolidge, which is in Vermont. I will add more photos of Vermont later. They will be worth the wait!

I've lost Chicago!

The title almost says it all! We spent last weekend in Chicago with Susan who was a fantastic tour guide. We went to Union Station where alot of movies have been filmed and saw alot of where the new Batman movie was filmed. Anyway, I took heaps of photos of these places and somehow I deleted all of them off the camera. There was such a nice one of me with Susan at Red Robin having lunch. The kids had a great time with her son Ethan who loves lego, as does my son. We went to the new Lego Discovery Centre and the kids had a ball! We also took a lift to the top floor of the John Hancock Center and had a lovely view from the ladies "Bathroom" of the city (You have to pay to see the view, unless you use the "ladies" which was a glass wall!) There were many of us lined up to take pictures! ROFL

I'm having trouble with internet at the moment here in Canada, but will upload more of my trip when I get to Montreal.....Until then......Love Georgie

Sth Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin

Wild Bill's Headstone
Deadwood from the Memorial Cemetery in Deadwood

My six year old son took this photo


We drove so much today....But first I wanted to mention a little town called Murdo, Sth Dakota. It was tiny! We stayed in a room that would've made Norman Bates proud!!! We ate in a little diner that was also a gift shop and a car museum. It was more than just cars though. It had a little town down up with artafacts from the 1800's. Oh and the tin toys were gorgeous! We also saw Mt Rushmore.....It took my breath away.











So back to today! We drove across the state of Minnesota today. A huge day of driving, about 8 hours.
