This weekend Aaron and I went to Ottawa for the Winterlude Festival with our friends, Brian and Nancy. We were hoping for good ice so we could go skating on the Rideau Canal... and with -30º weather that is what we got. I could say the cold was terrifying on our exposed faces as we skated against the wind... but instead I will say it was "refreshing".
We ate lots of good food, did a little shopping on Bank Street and skated 'til our legs ached. There's a photo album of the weekend on my Gallery page and my favorite shots in Flickr.
argh! i must go to canada with the husband soon. everyone is going, you know. it's the thing to do. ;)
ReplyDeletep.s. look at your wee little sweet pigtails. aw.
Please tell me you ate a Beaver tail while on the canal? Killaloe Sunrise beaver tails are THE best! Seeing your pictures makes me miss Ottawa so much.
ReplyDeleteWhich hotel did you stay in? It looks really nice, and I'd love a romantic alternative to the MIL's living room on our next trip up.
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous it was cold for you. Our trip up a couple weeks ago for my first Winterlude un-impregnated found the canal unfrozen.
lucky you! i just spent a week in ottawa and never got to the canal! it was closed for the first part of the trip!
ReplyDeleteThose same days hubby and I went from Los Angeles to Catalina island where we whined about it beind 40 degrees at night. You are a brave bunch!
