My Parents Visit the Great White North

 Last week something wonderful happened, my parents came to visit.  We had many fun adventures, and some that were less fun but we were together for four whole days and it was great. Here is the run-down (with pictures, yay me!).

This was our first night together.  I had found some Beringer White Zinfindel. It used to be our favorite, until they stopped selling it near Mom and Dad's place.  So, we made a toast. 





On our first full day, we visited the Cabot Factory, ate tacos, and visited Ben and Jerry's!  This was probably my favorite day because Dad got into a fight with the tour guide at Ben and Jerry's over GMOs and Dad and I each ate three free scoops of Ice Cream.



Why did we eat so much ice cream?  Cause they had too many and the lady pictured below gave up SUGAR for Lent.  SUGAR people.  Do you know how much faith you have to have to give up sugar and then find yourself at the Ben and Jerry's factory and not eat ice cream.  A lot. 







Mom brought me a hogsbreath shirt, so we needed a selfie.  I think we took like six just to be able to get a good one, but we did it!
Then we went to Canada


First Stop:  McDonalds.  And they invited the girls to come behind the counter and make their own ice cream cones.  This single-handedly made this the "best trip ever" in Gwin's eyes.






                                             Stop 2:  The Notre-Dame Cathedral.  I got in trouble from the tour guide when I took this picture, apparently pictures were for after the tour. This Cathedral was just amazing.  Oh and Celine Deon got married right there.
This is the wedding chapel in the Cathedral. 
 Stop 3:  The Underground City.  This place was supposed to be the worlds largest underground shopping center.   Really it was some above ground shops and you could take an underground metro to some more shops.  Not much shopping and a little bit of disappointment, but there were these fun fake trees and some traffic cones to pose with.

Stop 4:  Our room.  Dad got us an amazing room in the heart of the city.  He was upgraded to the Presidential suite and we got this fancy fireplace, two bedrooms, a full kitchen, living room, and a jacuzzi tub.  We were living it up!


Montreal dinner.  Subway, white wine, and a package of cold medicine.



 The next day Mom and Dad left to head to warmer climates ( I mean who doesn't want to trade 10 degrees for 70) but we showed them, we sent them away with a plague to remember us by.
