Quebec Trip

This year was Ben and my 5 year anniversary.  Five years already!  It doesn't feel like that long though.  We decided that we wanted to go away without kids for a couple of days at least so we started to make plans with what was left over from our tax return.  At first we talked about PEI but since we went there a couple of times already, we thought no.  We then thought about going to St. Andrews but the place that we were going to stay didn't have a shower.  (and the hotel was out of our price range)  We started talking about Quebec City and at first we thought there's no way we would have the money so we prayed about it and felt that God wanted us to go ahead with it.  So with not much money, we started planning.  First we found free childcare for both boys (saving $150) then our friend said we could borrow their Yaris (saving $120 on gas in the van) then we had some people give us money for our anniversary and finally I found an amazing deal on a downtown hotel (saving $60).  So off we went and we had enough to eat out every lunch and dinner and go to the Montmorency Falls, Old Quebec, and the Quebec aquarium.  Here are some pictures of our trip.
