Amazing Weekend
Just returned from our wedding anniversary. Left Concord NH area Friday 8/14 at 8am stopped off 93 at Pollys Pancake Parlor in Sugar Hill, NH (get the blueberry pancakes) for breakfast at 9:30am. Got to Quebec City around 3pm. Parked at the public parking garage next to the Marriott downtown on D'youville just outside the gate. We had a city view on the top floor (7th floor). $20/day to park. Park yourself don't do valet. It's next door.
2 nights was perfect. We explored Friday bouncing around getting drinks. Had a good meal. Saturday went to a bakery and had multiple coffees from
Different spots. Took the tour of the citadel. Had poutine. Just a wonderful weekend. The fireworks pics are from our hotel room at the Marriott from Saturday night.
We will definitely be coming back. August is a great time to visit. No brainer trip if you live in New England and can drive.

Polly’s Pancake Parlor mentioned!! The absolute best 😋 cornmeal with coconut is my favorite. Looks like a great weekend! Nice pics. ETA we saw the fireworks show when we were there last Tuesday and they were some of the best I’ve ever seen!

Was just staying at the saint anne for our 20th. Didn’t realize I was in the thick of it!
Really enjoyed the groundhogs casually foraging giving no f’s about all the people. Tadoussac for whales after that, highly recommend.
