I've just come back from a trip to Ottawa, and have had a great time. The girls came with me because heaven forbid we would go somewhere warm because my poor baby Devan..couldn't. Bill stayed with him.
They actually have 4 bead stores there!! Two that I loved like cRaZy!!!!! The other one was moving and the fourth one, I didn't have much time to peruse... Sharon and I took a class that was so much fun!
One day Sharon took me into downtown Ottawa.. OH MY!!!! The parliament buildings were absolutely gorgeous!! They went on for blocks and blocks! Pictures just do not do them justice..not at all. 'Course you have to love old buildings to truly appreciate them. The only problem was all the darn construction EVERYWHERE.
Sharon lives in Carleton Place. It is as if the town is split into two. The very old, and the shopping stores area. Most of the old buildings are red brick, which I love. So many are close to the street, which is kind of odd. There is an old mill there that was made into condos. It is on the Mississippi River, not THAT Mississippi River. It is a wonderful old building. Her daughter's school is also on the river...what a few for daydreaming!
We spent ten days there and 7 hours in the Montreal airport coming home. The trip was fun, the airport, not so much...
It's good to be home. Devan loved his Rugby ball! YES! One home run for the momma!
