Memorial Day Weekend Drive

For Memorial Day Weekend, we celebrated by taking a gorgeous drive into some new (to me) territory. After giving me a driving tour of the Weber State University campus, where Jeremy goes to school, we drove up Ogden Canyon, which was beautiful. I had no idea.We went to The Oaks, an old, well-known restaurant, and had really yummy burgers! Then we drove up to Pineview Reservoir through Eden/Huntsville. I had never been there during the day, and it was SO gorgeous!

Oh Canada!!

My friend Melanie got to talking several months ago and travel, and we both expressed our desire to visit Eastern Canada. She had served her mission in Montreal, and my dad had served in Toronto back in 1960, so I'd always wanted to visit. So we planned a trip! We covered lots of territory in 9 days, but got to see everything we went for: Toronto, Niagara Falls, Ottawa, Quebec, and Montreal. We had a good mix of sightseeing, evening entertainment, shopping, and (best of all) the food! We kept taking pictures of our food because it was all so delicious! Our hotels were all super nice, too, thanks to Melanie's Marriott "hook-up." I'd have to say that - scenery-wise, Niagara Falls and Quebec were my favorite. Ottawa was pretty gorgeous too... Toronto & Montreal were basically big cities on the water, so pretty nice themselves. It was a great vacation! Check out our photos, eh?
