Ontario

We were lucky enough to be in Ontario, and specifically Ottawa, for July 1 - Canada Day! We spent two great nights with a friend of mine from Rogers in the Ottawa office and her family, and it was so lovely to stay with friends IN A REAL HOME and not the tent or a cheap motel! Not that there is anything wrong with our beloved Blue Bullet or our cosy tent, but there is definitely something to be said for a home :-)


Canada Day was a lot of fun in Ottawa, the capital really knows how to turn on a good show. Red and white were definitely the colours of the day (not yellow, Fiona....I just pretended that I've become colour-blind since becoming pregnant!), and there was such a fun vibe in the city.

We swung by Toronto for an all-too-brief Rogers friend catch-up and then headed down to Niagara Falls. Photos don't do it justice, this is an amazing place and worthy of the 13 million visitors it gets each year!

A very patriotic city :-)
