Out and About

Since we are in the city for a limited time we've been enjoying walking around to see the nearby sites. That and the parking garage is super tight and our new car is basically a tank so I'm terrified to drive it in and out.

We found a local playground and Will thoroughly enjoyed his first ride in a swing.

Ottawa also has its own Notre Dame.

Jack is currently very into coins-both monetary and awards. So we stopped at the Canadian Mint to see what sort of coins they had. Below were my favorites.

Ben Coin

Jack Coin

Dino John Coin

Dino Ashley Coin

Another Moose sighting. They are everywhere!

On another occasion we went to Parliament to check out the changing of the guard ceremony. The boys thought it was Big Ben at first. We didn't stay long as it ended up being so hot and crowded. And then the cannons started going off. It was so loud we decided to leave, which ended up being the best decision as the baby got hungry not 10 minutes after we left.

A train ride through Byward Market. Not pictured: John enjoying a drink in the shade with Will.

We have just over 1 week left before we say goodbye to city life and move into our rental in the suburbs.
