OK, before I post about the details of the family vacation, I should post about the short period before the trip.
On the Sunday before we left, I joined Nico and two of his friends for a run on the trails of Mont-St-Hilaire. I had gone running a couple of times in the previous weeks, so instead of being unable to keep up with the others, I just had to work hard to keep up with them. Nico is ridiculousl fast running downhill on trails. As for me, I was even slower than usual, as I had to make sure I didn't sprain an ankle or something two days before our trip to Europe! Here a a few of Nico's photos.
As Alex is the one in our family who organizes everything before we travel, we decided it would OK if, on the day before the trip, I take both boys out to an activity. I chose to take them to a combined time attack and road race at Autodrome St-Eustache. We only made it half way through the day, but I think Jules had a good time, while Oscar did not seem to have any complaints. I took a few pictures with my phone:

Jules enjoys a snack in the back of the M3, while Oscar enjoys one of many naps. |

Someone bought this lovely Ferrari 599 to the event |
 |
Probably the highlight of the event for Jules... |
 |
... the Legris' four-wheeler |
 |
This track Civic EP3 looks like something I could have built! |
Other than that, I am glad to be back in Montreal just as summer is getting started. Even though I missed Grand Prix weekend, there are still plenty of exciting cars on the road:
 |
I love the tasteful modifications on this beautiful M Coupe |
 |
The new Lexus coupe... I can't say I love it, but it certainly is distinctive-looking. |
 |
Maybe the cleanest E24 BMW I have ever seen, this is the rare (but not necessarily desirable) L6 model |
All spotted yesterday:
 |
Audi RS4, wolf in sheep's clothing |
 |
I saw this AMG again in the same spot. I can't believe someone is parking this beauty on the street regularly! |
 |
A rare Audi R8 GT |

Aston Martin DBS |
