Late Friday night (midnight to be exact), after finishing up a two-day convention with the churches of our region, Lauren and I flew to Ottawa to visit my sister and her family. It was a nice two-day pit stop before we head off to New York for the Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Conference this coming week.
This was the third time I have been to Ottawa and it was great to check out some of the sites. A few places that we visited were the Parliament Building and Canadian Museum of Nature. A big highlight was eating a Beaver Tail.
Here are a few pictures from our weekend:
Canada's Parliament building

What did you do this weekend?

Kevin,
I’m sitting on the couch reading your blog on my weekend! LOL
I’ve been to Ottawa and toured the Parliament building, National Aviation Museum (which I’ve heard closed down), and the RCMP training facility! Beautiful city!

The library looks beautiful – I’m a sucker for any place with books! Are you seriously eating a beaver tail?!

A Beaver Tail is a deep fried pastry not a real beaver tail.

When I’ve heard about Ottawa I thought it’s in Japan, never know that there’s a same name place in Canada.
The structures are beautiful!
Thanks for sharing Karyn!
