big girl pants, Ottawa, Parliament, peace, Peace Tower, sad, security, widow

it was exciting to get to visit the Peace Tower while we were in Ottawa, but also sad…

the last time I was in the Parliament Buildings was over 40 years ago ago…

at that time you just walked in and looked around…

now you have to go through security twice, once outside the building and then again inside…

there are security guards everywhere and many parts of the building are blocked off…

sad commentary on the world we live in…

2017 Ottawa day 7, Bier Markt, bus, chocolate, Kontinuum, leaves, light, Ottawa, oysters, Parliament, Technology, tourist, vacation, walk

took the bus, on my own, to meet my daughter after she got off work…

we had lunch at Bier Markt... and I tried oysters again… they were yummy, who knew…

then we went to see Kontinuum… it is a free light show in the new subway… it was quite neat…

afterwards we walked over to the Parliament buildings and took a few tourist-y shots…

the bus from her house to downtown was just an ordinary one, but on our way home we got on a bendy bus… yay…

took a few pictures of trees and leaves on our walk from the bus to the house… the maple leaves are beginning to change colour… very pretty…

after supper we did a small 100% cacao chocolate tasting…

and ended with the cutest little Brix bar which is made to slide over a wine bottle…

house, hydrangea, Mosaica, Ottawa Day 3, Parliament, poutine, walk

more relaxing day… before we got up we got a picture of our sleeping arrangements which are working very well…

IMG_7556.JPGthe boys went off to get fixins for ice cream and came back with a lot of candy…

Ron ran a few errands with a friend while we watched a bit of tv, worked on a Lego piece and took a walk along the river…

IMG_7557.JPGthen we headed out to see the new house… it has some lovely hydrangeas in front…

IMG_7558.JPGit is going to be perfect and I got a pic of the kids taking a photo in front of the house…

IMG_7559.JPGwe went out for poutine and while we were waiting a few people had a rest…

IMG_7560.JPGand really I don’t care for poutine, which I must remember, lol…

we jumped on a bus and headed to the Parliament building where we watched a fascinating light show… the weather was gorgeous…

IMG_7561.JPGmy favourite part was the poppies filling up the space…

IMG_7562.JPGafter the show we followed many people to the bus stop and headed home…

everyone else is in their bed as I write this, as the kids both have work tomorrow, and me and the little guy are on our own… we have some plans:-)…
