Day 85

We are so glad that Granny came to spend a week with us. We have dragged her all over Montreal. On Friday, we spent several hours at the Botanical Gardens. I was very skeptical of Gardens in the spring in Montreal - but I was blown away by what we found. It was a great place for children to run, explore, and pretend. It was totally free, too. The website said that it would be about $40 for the four of us to tour the garden - but when we arrived we learned that it was free until May 14th! I'm not sure we would have gone if it had been $40 - but it actually would have been worth the money. We spent much of our time in the Chinese Garden. It had so many great bridges, hidden rooms, etc.

This was in the Chinese Garden. It was so fun to explore and photograph, too!

We had a great time throwing rocks into this pond until the staff ran us off - somehow we missed the sign that read "stay on the path".

This is the Olympic Tower that is adjacent to the gardens.
