Montreal is Great for a Weekend of Family, Art, Shopping, Eating and Drinking

Our weekend in Montreal started with a cab ride from the airport $40 and a late night check in at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth.  The largest hotel in Montreal it is also the best place if you have family arriving by train.  It was a family beginning with Sunday morning at Universel on Peel.  A good breakfast with plenty of choices, good seating and  a great location for our next stop,  the Musee Beaux Art.  We were doing a  family group visit to see the Feininger exhibit.   It was a great way to visit with family and enjoy some of Montreal’s great vibe.On the way we saw a great wedding parade with pipers and kilts, marching bands.   I'd love to go back to the museum to check the permanent collection. We did some great dining at Milo’s and Joe Beef with Joe Beef outstanding and Milos a bit disappointing.  We wandered the underground and Vieux Montreal, did a city bus tour and visited Notre Dame.   Next time I want a car, the Metro is aweome but it's Canada, not Paris or Rome, so I’m definitely good to drive and want the freedom to  get out and explore the island, find some great people, places,  beer and cheese.  I'm going back to Montreal again and again.
