Quebec City – Day 4 Exploring the Countryside

June 26, 2019 by thekellysontour No Comments

Day 4 – Exploring out in the Countryside 1 January, 2013

(2018 UPDATE – Wow friends, I was super enthusiastic and annoyingly upbeat back then.  I mean, I still liked my children and my husband and just had a happy zest for life.  I had a think about this and put it down to my kids only being 14 & 10 (they are now 20 & 16 – pass the bottle of booze, and then another bottle please) and maybe my bullshit-o-meter hadn’t tapped out just yet.  Who even was I?  All I know is I must have been really really hard to be around back then with all my sunshiny-ness and unicorn rainbows.  I’m so sorry guys, thanks for hanging in there and guess what, good news…..6 years later I am now the blackhearted, cynical, potty mouthed, people hating BITCH I was always meant to be.  You’re welcome!!!)

So after the most delicious sleep in for us all we slowly got up and had a lovely brunch. The main event for today was a bus tour out into the countryside and I was very excited to explore.  Yes I know bus tours aren’t high on everyone’s list but if you find the right tour they are such a good way to get to see alot in one day and if you aren’t used to driving in snowy conditions which we obviously are not – then it’s ideal!

Quebec City – Day 3 NYE Celebrations

Day 3 – New Years Eve 31 December, 2012

The good news about this visit to Quebec is that we don’t have to be up and out the door early the whole time we are here.  Sucks to be me because the family are definitely making the most of it – much to my frustration since I struggle to truly sleep in. OMFG – get UPPPPPP!!!

Okay so today was forecast to be extraordinarily cold. Like super cold. So perhaps it wasn’t the best day for us to be doing a horse and carriage ride tour for 2 hours hey???? Alas I had booked this in advance and the show must go on so we rugged up and I do mean rugged up with thermals, jackets, hats, gloves, scarves etc for the ride.

Quebec City – Day 1 Such a Wintery Dream

October 18, 2018 by thekellysontour No Comments

IMG_0864

Someone contacted me today to ask me about our 5 day trip to Quebec City, Canada and just a simple thing like that sent me down a rabbit hole of memories and sparked the need to share.  Before starting this blog of silly travel stories a few years ago, I had always written about the trips we took.  I just wrote crazy long emails each day back to friends to make them laugh and to stop me from killing the fam bam.  Cheaper than therapy and as it turns out it’s been a fabulous way to keep the amazing memories of our trips alive once the old mind has faded a bit.  Thinking about our visit to Quebec City over NYE 2012/2013 made me go back to the stories I wrote of the experience and it reminded me of just how beautiful the city was and how much we loved it.  I wrote tons and photographed everything and I thought I may as well pop all of this together on this blog in case anyone else is thinking about heading to this magical place.
