Home after the holidays

I've just returned from one of the best holidays I've had in a long, long time.
My family toured Upper and Lower Canada during the summer. The area we travelled to includes Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City and Ottawa.
It was a very stress-less time and we really enjoyed ourselves.
I'd never been to either Ottawa and Quebec City and I wonder why I'd never thought to visit them before. Both cities were unique in their own way and I plan to go back in the future to explore them further.
Old Quebec City had wonderful charm that captivated us during our stay there. It didn't matter that it rained on us, since that really added to the atmosphere of the place. I'd say that walking down the rain-soaked cobblestone streets to visit the many old buildings and cathedrals in the old part of town was the highlight of our entire trip.
I love the province of Quebec and we also enjoyed our stay in Montreal. I even had the chance to meet up with an online friend while we were there!
I had been to Quebec years ago when I was younger, and at the time I wasn't impressed with the province or the people there. Something about my visit and the feeling of stuffy superiority made me vow not to return there. I am so glad that I changed my views and that we made the trip. Words aren't enough to show how much I enjoyed it.
Photos may help however. Here are some photos from our stay in Quebec city.
