We're Off to Another Adventure

We're off to another adventure this summer leaving the country for the first time in over 20 years.   We're visiting our friendly neighbors to the North, Canada, coming back through New England.  We had a lot of fun blogging our trips in 2010 and 2013 so we'll be doing it again this time so people can follow along.

Ottawa

Here is the plan for our 11 day, 1500 mile trek north:

July 1 and July 2.   We have an 8 hour drive to Ottawa, the capital of Canada, in the province of Ontario.  Ida was able to get off on July 1 so we'll be able to break this up into 2 days, stopping in Watertown, New York on the first day.  On July 2, we head into Canada and will stay overnight in Ottawa, the nation's capital.








July 3-6.   After some sightseeing in Ottawa, we'll head 2 hours east to Montreal where we will spend the next three nights.  Montreal is the largest city in Quebec. As we enter the french speaking province of Quebec it will be interesting to see if we remember any of our high school French.

Quebec City

July 6-9  Leaving Montreal we head further north to Quebec City.   Quebec City is one of the oldest cities in North America and we're looking forward to experiencing its European feel.

Portland

On July 9 we head back into the U.S. and drive through Maine for about 5 hours before stopping for the night in Portland.   There will definitely be a lobster dinner; they are much fresher and better prepared in Maine!

Mystic

Our final stop is in Mystic, Connecticut where we'll visit the seaport and other attractions.

For each day of this trip, there will be a post telling you what we plan to see for the day.  It will give you a little background on the sites.  Then there will be a post of some of our pictures for that day's activities.  If you see text that's in in color, it's a hyperlink providing more information.

We're looking forward to this adventure and hope you enjoy the pictures and posts.
