Ottawa Trip

It has been a long time since I have posted and I am so sorry for that, truly! When you don't do something for a while it is hard to get back in the groove but I am going to try to remember to post something more often, I mean, things are happening in my life!! So, I want tell you about our trip to Ottawa, what a place to go. We went there over the Canadian's Thanksgiving, which is the American's Columbus Day, and had such a great time in a beautiful city. We visited the Parliament Building, the market, Notre Dame Church, the Currency Museum (Samantha was surprised that fur, jewelry and other odd things were money a long time ago), the Mint and we just walked around. Can you tell that Samantha is into money now, she is interested in how it is made and the history of it. Below are some pictures of this beautiful city!

We saw this church from the Parliament tower and I wanted to go inside.

Outside Notre Dame

Wow, this place was beautiful

Samantha liked the idea of lighting a candle for someone, she lit two, one for Jim's dad and one for mine. She made Jim and I smile.

We also saw this lock that had a lot of tiers to it, we even got to see a boat go through it and it took a while for it to go through.

On the way home, look at the colors on those trees.

Samantha loves the new van we have a DVD in it.
