Jardin Botanique Montreal – Indoor Gardens
The botanic garden also has a fantastic conservatory, which just kept going, and going, and going. There was an orchid room, and a fern room, and a begonia room, and a Spanish hacienda garden, and a bonsai room. And more. I really enjoyed our visit there, and absolutely must go back, because

Jardin Botanique Montreal – Outdoor Gardens
On Saturday (6/17), we headed out to the botanical garden, which was an easy subway ride from our hotel. The place is huge – there’s also an insectarium and a biodome you can visit – I don’t know how people do it. We managed maybe a quarter of the outside gardens, and

Governor’s Garden at the Chateau Ramezay – Montreal, QC
This garden was a really cool find – it’s attached to the Chateau Ramezay Museum and Historic site, but had free access. It’s set up with sections reminiscent of an earlier 18th century garden in New France. There’s a potager, an orchard and ornamental sections. I was so excited to see this – it’s

This was Sunday’s walk. It’s looking a heck of a lot more marshy than during last year’s dry summer. We’ll have to see how that works out this year.

Schoodic Peninsula, Acadia National Park – Winter Harbor, ME
In an effort to avoid the black flies once the sun came out, we headed over to Schoodic, on the coast, and did baby’s first hike on the Anvil Trail. (Which had a bit more of a slope than what C had found online, but baby M had a grand old time in her

Donnell Pond – Franklin, ME
It poured on our way up last Sunday to Ellsworth, and the next day started rainy. Not a bad day to spend hanging out at camp. It even dried out a bit late in the afternoon so I could snap some pictures before the black flies came back out.
