Last weekend I flew down to Montreal to see my best friend, Eva, graduate from the National Theatre School. I met up with her family and some other friends there and spent the weekend celebrating our girl.

On our first day we marched up Mount Royal for ice cream and a view. It’s not much of a commitment to hiking, but perfect for a Saturday morning.

After watching Eva’s final performance, I went with my friend Syd and Eva’s family for poutine. We were able to make it through the line of people waiting outside La Banquise and had so many options for poutine to choose from. I highly recommend this place if you’re on the hunt for the world’s best poutine (I know I am).

Sunday was the graduation ceremony day. Everyone met up at the Airbnb Eva’s parents were staying at for breakfast, mimosas, and to get ready for the day. We drove over to the theatre to take pictures before the ceremony and then cheered on our girl as she walked across the stage. Afterward, we went for dinner at Modavie and then partied the night away!This weekend was so fun, spent with the best people. I’m so glad I could see my best friend graduate, and that I got to see one of the coolest cities that Canada has to offer.
