…AT THE QUEBEC CITY (CANADA) WINTER CARNIVAL!

We recently went North for my birthday. Those of you that know we are already live in the frigid North East may think we are crazy, and maybe we are, but we had one hell of a fun long weekend in the cold outdoors at the Quebec Winter Carnival!

Please, sit down, relax, and be entertained by our photos and videos! Even though there are a lot of photos and videos here for you to see easily, you can click on any of the photos to get to the album on Picasa to view even more photos…just what you wanted…right?

First we drove through a snow storm to get there! Which provided for some really great winter country-side shots.

The afternoon we arrived we were able to see and appreciate some of the great ice and snow sculptures!
