Blogging once again... Mont Tremblant Day 1

15 months after the last blog entry, I have decided to pick up blogging again.

It is not even 7am, and I am sitting here in a spacious one bedroom suite at Hilton Mont Tremblant, waiting for Joe and Miss B to wake up. We are on our second annual family vacation. Last year we went to Vancouver for my sister's wedding. This year, we do not need to attend any family wedding, so we decided to have a rather relaxing vacation that does not involve flying (as flying with Miss B is not a pleasant experience.) Mont Tremblant is roughly about 3.5 hrs drive from our house. Yesterday, we left the house around 9:30am, dropped off Bee Bee at the pet sitter, and our trip to Mont Tremblant officially began. Since it was our first road trip with Miss B, we got a portable DVD player and packed tons of Miss B's favorite dvds to keep her entertained. We stopped at a picnic spot about 45 mins away from Mont Tremblant. It was also a geocache spot! We had a rather healthy picnic lunch. Joe and Miss B located a geocache, and I, of course, was busy lathering myself with tons of sunblock and insect repellant!




We arrived at our hotel, Hilton Mont Tremblant at about 1pm. The hotel is nice and cozy, and our room is spacious!




I went down for a much needed nap (as I only slept about 4 hrs in total the night before), and Joe and Miss B went exploring in the pedestrian village where Miss B had an ice cream and some marshmallow.





We then went swimming at the hotel's swimming pool in the afternoon. The pool was pretty much empty and we had the pool all for ourselves. It was Bethany's first time using the floaties and she did exceptionally well, and she was not afraid of the water at all.





By 6pm, we were seated at Spag & Co for dinner. The restaurant was not busy so our food arrived fast. We had vegetarian pizza and fettuccine with a creamy sauce.




All the shops in the pedestrian village closed at 5pm, and there was not much to do after dinner. We walked around in the deserted village for a bit and then headed back to the hotel.


Miss B did not have an afternoon nap so she was pretty cranky when dinner was finished. We went back to the hotel and started our normal evening bedtime routine. By 8pm, Miss B was sound asleep!


Joe and I enjoyed half a bottle of Chardonnay, caught up with emails and Facebook. Nothing special, but it was super relaxing.
