being a tourist, part deux

My Dad, K and the kids spent a day in Ottawa last weekend (while I was away scrapbooking), enjoying the Canadian Tulip Festival and seeing the sights around Parliament Hill...

the Royal Canadian Mint...

the Rideau Canal...(these are the Ottawa locks). I am looking forward to skating on the canal next winter!

the Byward Market {ate some BeaverTails}...

The National Gallery of Canada... I am looking forward to spending some time here (without my kids please).

Fun, fun, fun! Here is a site I just discovered that has some great Flickr photos of the Tulip Festival and other Ottawa attractions.

More from our adventures later!
