FYI
Ottawa is a really cool place!
When I lived in Montreal and in Toronto, I always thought of Ottawa as a "small town". Yes, it is our nation's capital. Yes, Ottawa holds an interesting history. We'd always go to The Rideau Canal, the Science Center, Beaver Tails, and a few must visit places whenever we had out of the country visitors. Apart from Parliament Hill and all the touristy/school trip spots to see, I had never really explored Ottawa.
One of my good friends lives in Ottawa and she lives really close to the Museum of Nature. We're headed there this afternoon with the toddlers for some fun at the museum!
Little One is having such a blast. After a long drive from the Island to Kingston, she spent the weekend with her cousins. She just loves them so, so, soooo much. Now, we're in Ottawa and she's been having a great time with my friend's toddler. We're probably going to be island-bound tomorrow...unless Hubby tells us otherwise. When I called him yesterday, he told me that the water pipes were frozen after a cold spell and we do not have any water at either farm house! Ack! Maybe hanging out in Ottawa for a bit longer isn't a bad idea! ;)

About the Blog Author
City girl moves to the country, falls in love, and marries a farmer. She tries to incorporate her city ways with her new country lifestyle and blogs to keep in touch with friends, family & students who live far, far away :) Can this city girl go country? Watch as she learns all sorts of exciting things about life on the farm and in a small rural community. *UPDATE* We are now parents! Our baby girl was born on Nov. 11, 2008 (at 28 weeks gestation- 12 weeks premature, but she's quite the trooper)!!!
