Jesus Christ!
This was taken at night.....really.The night we stayed at Le Hotel Aristrocrate was absolutey horrible! Everything was so cramped, the beds were bad, and what really made me upset was it had a 4 star hotel rating from the Quebec rating company, and 4 stars from the national hotel rating commitee! The only thing that was good was the food. That was it. So if you ever find yourself going to Quebec City, make sure that you don't stay there! I had a nice Bacon 'n Eggs there, though they were'nt as good as Grandma's. Dad had the same, and Mom had her classic of a "Double order of extra extra crispy bacon." I can understand that! We love bacon! After that we drove for a bout 75 kilometers, and then we dropped by a Petro-Canada to get some gas. It was expensive, at 120.9 for full serve! Then we launched off, with a happy Suky. About 60 more kilometers down the road, we lost Mom. She started dozing off, and later when we waked her, she said she was only resting! My foot! But I have to say that I did join her after 15 kilometers. But at least I did'nt lie about it!
Welcome
Our New Home Province Dad stopped by in a place called Saint Louis-de-Ha! Ha! for lunch. what a freaky name for a town! But there wasn't a restaurant there, so we just left. There was a big church, though. And a cool statue of Christ. We had a good lunch at a place called Mike's cafe, though, a bit later down the road. We went in, and I had some pizza, and some real poutine. Dad got a little upset, because when the waitress came over, she spoke totally in french. But, when a couple about Dad's age came in, she spoke totally in English! Well English! But she just stood dumbfounded when Dad spoke to her. But you gotta give her a break, because later I found out that she was also the bar lady, the chef, and the janitor! Wow! But then we got on the road again, and Mom navigated while I took a reading break in the backseat of the car. We had some trouble when we came to a detour. The GPS went crazy! "Turn back in 100 meters. Turn back. Turn right in 300 meters. Turn right in 100 meters. Take next right. Turn back. Take next right,
The Simpsons
A scene straight from the Simpsons then do U-turn when possible." And them we were, according to the GPS, in the middle of nowhere! Maybe it thought we were ATVing! But we got back on the highway in the end. We drove for a while, and then we spotted the world's longest covered bridge! We just had to drive through! It was awesome! In about 7 minutes later we spotted Mom's new hospital! It was sooooooooooo cool! I wished we could go done and take a tour, but it said that it was restricted. So we drove on. We then drove on to my new home, Woodstock! Wow! It was more then I expected. Though it's still a small town. We checked into the Best Western there, ending up in the Luxury Suite! It had 2 TV's, 2 DVD players (Complete with complimentry DVD service!), a Jacuzzi, a Remote Controlled fire place, and much more! And were staying here for a week! Just 'till the movers come, though. We then went and looked at our house that we're gonna be living in, meet a neighbour, met the Woodstock Welcoming Commitee (Consisting of one cat that comes up to you, rubs against you're leg, yawns, goes to
Hartland
The world's longest covered bridge. sit in your yard, and then goes "Pet me! Take care of me!" And the moment you start to pet it, It starts scratching. And even though the cat has a colar, no one knows where the cat came from), had an expensive but good dinner at a place called Simply Dining, next to a Dixie Lee Chicken restaurant, and then rolled home. Where we are now. We'll type to ya later!

PS. Were getting a NAID dog called Sequoia's "Timber" Anderson! Ain't that cool!?!?
