up early and prepared homemade macaroni and cheese… one of my daughter’s favourites…

packed up all my stuff, including a new Lug bag that my daughter got for me a few months ago…

then we headed to the Mall for a little bit of shopping… in the end she found a jacket and shorts and I got a new phone case…

we spent a fun hour at a cool kitchen store checking out all types of gadgets…

home to pick up the luggage, load the paddleboard on the roof and make our way to the airport…

had a snack and I headed through security to catch my flight…

from goodbye to Ottawa, the WestJet Connect app showing we were over Winnipeg, to coming in over the river and touchdown…

I had a great visit and enjoyed every minute…

as I was walking down the ramp to the airplane I was thinking of how blessed I have been… travelling by air has become old hat and having the resources, both financial and time, that allow me to visit my kids…
