Beginning our walk with a map in hand...off to the Parliament Buildings.
Eric did not pose for this photo....I just snapped, and I know he is going to totally love that I posted it on my blog.
Sir Wilfred Laurier.
Eric went inside the parliament building to hunt down tickets for our (free) tour of the buildings. As I was waiting I first heard, and then SAW this group of protestors marching towards the podium.
I couldn't really figure out what they were going on about.....something about workers, or unions. I wondered if THEY knew what they were going on about. I just felt like marching up to the podium with a simple speech..." G.e.t. B.a.c.k. to W.o.r.k.!" You'll be pleased to know that I restrained myself.
The inside of the Parliament building. It is a wonderful tour, that I would recommend to anyone. The library was VERY impressive....not allowed to take photos in there. Too bad.
We took a break for a "Beaver Tail." Delicious! I had nutella and icing sugar on mine....and then I had icing sugar and nutella all over my face and baby belly!
The Canadian War Museum. Another MUST see. It wasn't overly busy, but we were joined by a group (or platoon, or station, or whatever they call themselves) of army guys (and a few gals too).
This little sign just looked SO Dutch to me!
The Canadian/Dutch relationship had its own little corner of the museum.
"Women are persons too" statues.....also a neat place to take a photo.
There were statues and monuments like these all over.
Thanks to my hard working husband for being so willing to "splurge" on a week-end such as this.....and my parents for moving in to watch their grandchildren!
