We've seen Peter Mansbridge (the girls and I saw him in the hotel lobby). We've sung O Canada on The Hill with the Prime Minister and Governor General. We've had the thrill of the Snowbirds flying over the parliament buildings a few times. Now what?!
Divide and conquer.
The girls went to the mall. I know. But it's exciting because they walked over the now-filled sinkhole, which is a mere block from our hotel.
Meanwhile, Scott and I carried on with our patriotism by going to Major's Hill Park, one of the three sites of festivities. It was a bit like a smaller version of the PNE with lots of food stands and entertaining musical groups and such.
And Patty, one of the hosts from Kids' CBC! We used to watch her about 10 years ago.
Onward to Quebec!!! Scott and I walked the Alexandra Bridge over the Ottawa River to Gatineau to see:
Free admission on Canada Day! Turns out many people had the same idea, so we kept it short. We decided we knew enough about the BC Gold Rush already, so we bypassed that one and went to the special exhibit of old horse carriages. That appealed to my love of
Little House on the Prairie.
Just like cars today, you could get varying degrees of fancy carriage. Hello, umbrellas with fringes?! That's my style.
A little BC for good measure.
End of part 2.
