Family in Mont-Tremblant – Quebéc
Mont-Tremblant ski village (no snow yet, but very charming) Last weekend we were in Mont-Tremblant, Québec, celebrating our first decade of marriage. If you were to ask us what we would do at these special weddings, we would say something much more elaborate and planned, but with the rush of everyday life + diego’s work issues, we could not enjoy something more extended. It was last minute, but it was pretty cool! Thus, we decided to take a jump in the neighboring province, in the charming ski village, Mont-Tremblant, in the Laurentian Mountains and it was cozy and relaxing (as far as you can relax with 2 children on lap…

Thanksgiving Tour: Parc Omega
We’ve been wanting to visit Parc Omega for a long time, about an hour from Ottawa. The park is in the Montebello – Quebec region and is an area famous for its large Fairmont Le Château Montebello (we passed there in 2010). We decided to go this Thanksgiving weekend, taking advantage that the temperatures are still mild and the days are still not so short. To start the tour, we had lunch at a local restaurant in Montebello with excellent reviews, Délice Champêtre. There we tasted a handmade hamburger with local Quebec cheese, the traditional poutine and a sandwich with smoked pork, all approved! Québécois Poutine Parc Omega offers…

Dallas – Texas | Family travel
Okay, Okay, I think I take world already tired of these travel posts that never end. Because today is the last of the series, counting a little of our past, also fast, by Dallas in the American state of Texas. I thought Dallas filled in that idea I had of Texas before I knew it, that everything is big and broad. And it was in Dallas, the place I saw most elevated, highways and highway conglomerate. I’ve never seen such road exuberance! One of the important events in the city is that it was there that U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. In the place where the…

Los Angeles, California | Family travel
From the tour to disney california adventure and disneyland parks (1st and 2nd days), we stroll through Los Angeles and the surrounding area. I confess that the time was short and it was all very quickly, in the race even. Still, you could get an idea of the region and some of the most important sights. As we were with a rental car, we were able to choose which days to go to the parks and the city of Los Angeles. Disney parks are located in Anaheim, greater Los Angeles and our hotel was in this area. We planned well the round-trip times from Los Angeles, since the city has…

Bonnechere Caves | Tourism close to Ottawa
Another Saturday arrived, a beautiful day dawned and I thought: what can we do today? That besides tidying up the house, dealing with the DIY mini projects that are always going on and so on.I remembered that it was on my list to visit the Bonnechere Caves, 123km west of Ottawa, in Eganville – Ontario. I researched the schedules, called in some friends at the last minute and right after lunch we headed there. Once you get there, you see right away that the infrastructure is very simple and rustic, no big ads, sidewalks or buildings. Simple washrooms, ticket office/souvernirs/water and a parking lot are the things you will find…

The magical world of Disneyland
On the second and third days in California, we visited Disneyland. Let me just say that I’m even confused with Disney World in Orlando, such a similarity in access. Inside, that main street and the whole atmosphere is very similar too, but numerous attractions differ between the two parks. I’ve already written about the other annex park here, disney california adventure. We walked through everything, but we didn’t go to all the attractions, because we just couldn’t. For a small child, like Alice, the ToonTown area, Mickey’s town and his gang, was a great option. Had Minnie’s house, Mickey and more, had a roller coaster that she can go (and…
