Last week Thursday and Friday, Reuben and I and 2 other couples went to Mont Tremblant for a little getaway. We shared a 2 bedroom plus loft suite right in the village! We left at 6:30am from Ottawa and were in Tremblant around 9am...with a little detour at Timmy's/McDonalds on the way. Here are some pics of the suite....
This was the view...Reuben is wearing the coolest goggles of the weekend...they have pretend bullet holes in them....don't ask me why...
As you can see, we were just a hop, skip and a jump away from the bottom of the hill. The weather wasn't the greatest the first day as it was pretty drizzly. While the boys snowboarded, we shopped and looked around the village and went to a delicious creperie for lunch. In the evening, we took a dip in the pool and the outdoor hot tub and then had dinner at the local microbrewery, La Diable. Here are our friends, Heidi and Bryan Feenstra at the pub.
And this is us at the pub.
And that evening, my brother-in-law, Josh drove up and joined us as he had a one day ski pass to use. In the morning, the boys plus Carrie hit the slopes at 8 am and got 3 runs in then came back to our suite for breakfast. Heidi and I made waffles and bacon with strawberries and whipping cream. It was delish!
Then we had to check out of our hotel so we loaded all our stuff into the car and everyone continued snowboarding/skiing except for Heidi and I. We grabbed our books and found a nice, cozy couch to sit on in the lobby of one of the hotels right at the base of the hill. We read for about an hour and a half and then Carrie called and we met her for lunch. The rest of them stayed on the slopes. We wandered around the village some more but then as the weather was so warm and sunny, we joined the crowd at the bottom of the skihill watching people go off of jumps. We had a grand time people-watching.
At 4pm the lifts were closed so we watched the boys end their final run right at our feet.
They enjoyed their final run in their t-shirts because it was so warm. Then we packed up and headed home after agreeing to do it all again next year.
