My first husband would take the kids and they'd watch me! I have good memories of this. My kids went this year, with the grandkids. I can't stand the crowds any more!

We arrived in a downpour but luckily the Museum of Nature was just around the corner from our hotel and we spent the afternoon wandering through the exhibits without a care for the blustery weather outside. When we finished, it was still raining, but we were lucky to be standing next to the manager of the Delta Hotel who offered to share his cab and dropped us off at the Whalesbone which is also just around the corner from our hotel. Great oysters! The next day we took a tour of the Parliment buildings and behind us were a couple with a visiting student who were so friendly and added so many interesting tidbits of information that the tour guide had not mentioned. We came to find out that it was John Geddes (Ottawa bureau chief of Macleans) and his wife Joanne Chianneli (City editor of Ottawa Citizen). They were so unassuming and kind. We loved your city and hope to visit again. Your blog was a tasty appetizer!Antjashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05032661963227386912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437925806350573745.post-40862516406754526732014-07-08T19:36:01.807-04:002014-07-08T19:36:01.807-04:00Lots of people!
