The Last Little Bit

Morning view from the hotel room.

The sun rising (6:00 am)

The pool

Hot tub (Damaris' favourite).

Looking up ... up.

The view from the other side.

Delicious breakfast...

And more.

Having fun - it's always so nice having the pool to ourselves, because then the kids can be as wild as they want... that is, within reason.

Trying to emulate a former picture (then and now).

The phone lens always fogged up.

Her absolute favourite part of the hotel!

Aah!

The federal courthouse.

Mr. Speaker's giant chair.

Giant tulip.

Goodbye Ottawa!

Upon Arriving and Before

Don't know which body of water this is.

Hello Ottawa!

First thing we did was check out the rooms: the bedroom.

Kitchen.

Living room with pull-out sofa.

View through kitchen "window" to living room.

View out of the window.

That piece of glass roof sticking up is the pool.

Some fancy gourmet restaurant.

The food wasn't that great.

Yummy water.

Still licking her lips after taking a sip of water, I took a picture with flash that made her squint.

Night view outside the window.

Lobby

So excited to go to bed (such a cool and cute one :D)!

"The Picture of Chester Died"

     Yesterday, we were told that our miniature horse had been found dead in his stall that morning. It is suspected that he ate a poisonous plant when he was put out to pasture for the first time.

N's take on it:

"The Big, Hungous Apple Ever"!

On the way to Ottawa, we stopped at the big apple. (Can you guess who said that quote in the title? :D)

The view.

Over the bridge.

Nesting Goose.

Llama

The train.

Look at that gigantic mixer.

Now this is what I would have my chair upholstered with!

Mr. Apple.
