The nation's capital
Delightful day in Ottawa. Started with free parking, and just got better.
One of the first things we encountered was the Terry Fox monument. Cameron had studied him in school, and was interested to see his statue in such a prominent place.
Managed to catch Kayley in a rare moment, between a pout and a posed smile. She had time to change her expression, but not her posture.
While waiting for the tour through Parliament, we walked along the Rideau Canal. I'm impressed that they still let tourists walk along the locks, and haven't put up the seemingly-obligatory DANGER signs.
Does the picture of our three kids by the staircase seem at all familiar to you? Canadian news junkies should recognize it...it's the Prime Minister's staircase, the one they use in so many "Here comes the PM into the House of Commons" shots.
