The Capital

DSC04453 DSC04501 DSC04449

Hey guys! I just got back from Ottawa – a bunch of us went for the weekend to visit a friend who is in graduate school there. It was nice to get away from Toronto for a short while even if it meant driving for 5 hours! When you go as a group the drive doesn't seem so long – we did a lot of walking – visited parliament hill … went shopping (picked up a couple Christmas gifts) .. sushi lunch…the boys watched the hockey game that was playing in Ottawa ..had late night poutine … big egg and bacon breakfast … beavertails (so good!) that we picked up at the market … I am so thankful that I brought my parka and Uggs because it was SO cold in Ottawa (I pretty much wore these boots and the jacket all weekend) and now here I am in Toronto ..drinking chamomile tea to settle my stomach and then off to bed to get some rest! It has been a long week and a tiring weekend … I am looking forward to a fresh start on Monday :)

You picked a very frigid weekend to come to Ottawa. It was warmer in Centre town than in the Market though, you happened to pick one of the coldest spots to go.

I really need to get a parka like this! My walks to work every morning are so cold during the winter! Really like the one you're wearing!
