My eyes, my eyes...finally, a sunny day!!lol

It's the perfect summer day today so we headed off to the Insectarium and the Botanical Gardens. I was totally grossed out by the Insectarium - really, I don't need to see cockroaches, scorpions, tarantulas and the such in their full glory... the place totally gave me the eebie jeebies but Thomas and Emma loved it. The Jardin Botanique was lovely, with gardens showcasing various styles, like a Japanese and a Chinese garden. In one of the pics, you'll notice the tower of the Olympic Stadium in the background. The stadium was built for the summer olympics in Montreal in 1976 and is known as the Big O or the "Big Owe" as the city paid for the cost overruns for decades following the Olympics! After all that walking, we headed off to a quintessential Montreal restaurant: St. Hubert BBQ. I tell you, nobody makes a rotisserie chicken like St. Hubert!lol I find most places have rather greasy chicken, St. Hubert's is just right and their BBQ sauce is delish... I'm also always tickled when they offer you ketchup, mayo or vinegar with your fries here!lol I must admit, while the mayo idea doesn't sound appealing, I've been to a few restaurants that make their own fancy varieties of dipping mayo and it's totally addictive!
