Yesterday was the best birthday!! It was pretty quiet, but that's nice for a change. Life has been so hectic lately that it was nice to just have some quiet time. Katie was with us too!! She'd never been downtown for the fireworks (gasp!!), so Andre and I took her.
The weather's been really wet this summer and there was rain forcast for the entire day, so we didn't even leave the house till almost 8pm. We drove to a transit station and took the bus down - it's soooo much easier than trying to find parking downtown. After wandering downtown for a bit we met up with some friends to head down to our favourite firework-watching-spot. If you're ever downtown Ottawa on Canada Day, head east, past the art gallery and the mint, just past the mint take the path on your left. You can't hangout on the road at the bottom, but the path itself looks at the back of parlement hill, perfect for firework viewing. In the end Katie had a great time! The trip home took almost 2 hours by the time we caught a bus and it got out of downtown, but still, super fun had by all!
Not really much else to say... got to see Poppy (Andre's paternal grandfather) and one of the Skanes' aunts as they passed through Ottawa en route to Belle Island, Newfoundland. Poppy's going home to visit a sister who'se not doing so well. Here's hoping that his trip goes well!
Knitting's been progressing slowly... updates to follow. I've got one deadline looming, and at least a few requests for others upcoming. All these silly friends of mine having babies!
So that's it for now. Knitting update to follow. :)
