What I learned on my vacation- September 27, 2011

So yesterday I told you all about all the hard lessons we learned on this past long weekend during our first family trip to Canada for a wedding.

We learned a few more things, like in a town called Sutton, Quebec there’s a historic inn called Les Caprices de Victoria.

We learned when you’re there you could possibly find one of the rooms with the same name as your daughter and pick that room to stay in.  
We learned it was the kind of place where you can toddle along cobblestone sidewalks.
We learned a vineyard like this exists and you could get married there.  
We learned sometimes the bride forgets the groom’s ring and Greyson can save the day by slipping his off and giving it to the bride as everyone laughs.  Congrats Amy and Greg!  We love you!
We learned sometimes the girls need to put their party dresses on.
We learned you can’t forget your party shoes, even if they come off by the end of the night.
We learned Charlotte will dance and start the party when she’s ready.
We learned baby love knows no national borders when Charlotte found a Canadian boyfriend.  We warned her he could just be after a Green Card.  
We learned we can still dance all night even though we have a baby.  
We learned a little wine makes the songs a little sweeter.  
And I learned Greyson can make me cry when I see him point to the bride and her father on the dance floor and whisper to Charlotte, “Someday that will be us.”  Then I cry some more when I see her dance with her silly Daddy for the first time.  
We wouldn’t have learned any of this if we hadn’t taken all the lumps of traveling.
