Traveling Ingys Visit Our Neighbors to the North

And when I say "north" I mean waaayyy north. Shelley was nice enough to take us along for her trip to Québec City. Being that I'm a native Texan and Jason's an A&M graduate, we're about as far from French-Canadian as you could possibly be....Pretty sure there's not many Conservative Republicans running around up there. But, looks like we still had a great time!

Here we are at our hotel. The hotel we stayed at is the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac. Of course since it's French-Canadian it's not merely a hotel located in the heart of Old Québec ─ it is the heart of Old Québec! I'm guessing Le Château isn't the French word for La Quinta.

Nestled on a mountainside overlooking Lac Beauport, Mont Tourbillon is one of the most scenic golf courses in Québec. Since it's opening, it has become an established favorite with golfers who enjoy the mountain vistas as much as the challenging play. JR wasn't too impressed since he prefers "Dinosaur Golf" at the Katy Mills Mall.

We also went to Montmorency Fall just outside of Québec City. It has impressive waterfalls measuring 83-metre high. (in honor of our trip, notice my use of the metric system and the spelling of the word "meter")

Thanks for taking us along, Shelley. And everybody else, don't forget to get out your Traveling Ingys and take us around. We don't have to go anywhere "special" we just want to go! And if you'd like your own Traveling Ingys to take pictures with (and be featured on our blog), just drop me an email. I'll be happy to send you one!
