Munchkin in Montreal

Torrid Traveller Timbit road the rails with his ‘rents, Pops and Uncle Mikey to Montreal for his first ever visit to La Belle Province. We hopped aboard le train on Friday afternoon and chugged our way eastward. Sam Man so pumped by the excitement of the trip on the Choo Choo that he did not sleep a wink (against my greatest hopes and expectations). Unfortunately the trip coicidded with the boys’ super duper maman needy streak wherby he must spending every waking minute with his mother in full view….There were non stop chants of MOM MOM MOM and fuss pot sessions every time I stepped out of sight…..his attachment to me has been a bit trying…..love the loyalty but also nice to be able to go pee without a freak out attack on the part of the Samster

Timbit Takes in the Sights and Sounds of Montreal

The scenic train ride was actually a relatively peaceful and pleasant one having been able to pacify timbit with all things electronic, food, and friendly seat neighbours. I have to say that train travel is A1 when it comes to travelling with little munchkins. Timbit crashed out shortly after our arrival in Montreal and refuelled his energy stores with a super slumber in the new surroundings. Saturday, the gang of piled into our rental van and headed to the Eastern Townships for a daytrip. Timbit was fortuate to be able to take in the awesome colours of the fab fall folliage whilst also experiencing the backroads of the Townships.

Tyke Timbit Shows Off the Wonders of Technology to Grandma E

We all popped into visit beloved Mrs. Eldridge/ Grandma E to allow Sammy to finally introduce himself LIVE in person after having offered only a preview of the legendary lad via photos. Hammy Sammy was full of vim an vigor and put on quite the show for Mrs. Eldridge and her fellow housemates at the seniors home. He was totally enamoured with the offerings of the library and proceeded to empty and re-stack most of the book shelves. I definetely think the boy is sniffing out a potential career in library science. After our visit, Pops led us on a tour of Brome Lake Country to point out all his old stomping grounds and hotspots from his former glory days. After a long and lovely day in the coutry we motored back into the city. We were then showered with a surprise visit from Mar Mar's family who were sad and disappointed that Guest of Honour Sammy/ Timbit the Tease had descended into Never Never Land before the whole gang arrived to meet him. Although regretful about missing the party in his honour, Sammy has vowed to make a return appearance.

Sunday, Sam Man was treated to a grand tour of Old Montreal as well as a classic heart sopping Quebecois meal of poutine and hotdogs. Tuckered Timbit passed out for most of the sightseeing.
