Day 7.223: Au centre commercial

Sunday was our day to travel from Québec QC to Greenville Junction ME, but the weather forecast was not great - especially at our destination, so it seemed prudent to find an indoor activity before making the journey from civilisation into the wilds of western Maine.

We didn't tell the kids what we had in mind as we drove to the local mall. Almost as soon as we went inside, E5N1 spotted a carousel and immediately asked if they could go on that before whatever we'd gone in for. Little did he suspect that that was the exact purpose of our visit. That and the rest of the indoor amusement park known as Mega Parc.

It's built on two floors around an ice rink:

We did our best to have fun:

The view through the windows is from when we were stopped at the top of the Ferris Wheel (as the kids would call it - my instinct would be Big Wheel - which translates directly to the French term).

After a last francophone meal (the waiter, if not the food), we drove the three hours, including the border crossing and arrived at the edge of Moosehead Lake for the two nights of our trip.
