Summer Vacation

We stated our vacation off right with a stop to Ben and Jerry's in Vermont for a Factory Tour.  We got to sample a new ice cream and well as take a tour to see just how ice cream is made.  We also enjoyed an ice cream cone before we left!

Sampling

Next we went to North Conway, New Hampshire to stay for a couple of days and visit both Story Land and Santa's Village.  The boys absolutely loved both of the parks. The are age appropriate and really great!

Ben and Jerry's Tour

Tony and I love Santa's Village.  If you haven't been, check it out here:  http://www.santasvillage.com/  It is completely in the middle of no where, but so worth the drive!

We arrived in Montreal on our last night of our trip.  We headed down to Old Town Montreal for dinner and then to see the Buskers on the main street.  Griffin just had to have a balloon monkey made and the long wait was worth it, the smile on his face says it all.




The next morning, we headed back down to Old Town Montreal and headed to the IMAX and Science Centre.  The boys really enjoyed the movie and exploring the science centre.

Afterwards we headed down town for lunch and for Owen to have his portrait drawn.  He really wanted to have his picture done, but wasn't too happy with the result.
