Weekend before Halloween, I went to visit my friends Graham and Kendall (and their little one, Ned) as well as Travis and Mal (who have recently moved to Ottawa)
This is me on a train! Happy times. Was a really nice ride to Ottawa, got to do a lot of writing.
Ottawa train station on a Friday night. Spooky.
Graham picked me up, and we picked up sushi from 168 Sushi. I commented how it looked like a strip club.
Here's us having a quiet meal because Ned is asleep. All of us were fading fast because we had long days. Kendal and Graham had been up late with Ned the night before.
They let me stay in Ned's room. Very cute. =)
We get ready the next day to visit the Ottawa War Memorial.
Look at this little rascal.
Graham posing with his happy face.
Fountain!
The crowd is here, paying respects to the fallen soldier, 24 years old who was shot to death by someone claiming to be part of ISIS. The police later confirmed that he was acting alone. I felt incredibly sad, but, also not proud, but something like it as I visited the monument. I always try and pay my respects when I come to Ottawa.
Parliament buildings.
The Centennial Flame, which confirms 100 years as a Confederation as Canada. The change is gathered from it and given to the winner of the Centennial Flame Research Award, to someone with disabilities doing research on persons of interest with disabilities, or activities of Parliament.
Gov of Canada building. The shooter was around here too, I think?
Beautiful view from the bridge nearby.
Ned eventually got tired of being pushed...and decided to push the stroller himself.
Then we played in the leaves.
We went home and carved pumpkins.
Played ball.
The next day I went to see Travis and Mallory, since Graham and his family would be at church most of the day of Sunday, anyways.
Went for a walk, saw some cool art.
And then we went and ATE DOUGHNUTS. =D
After doughnuts, we went through a farmer's market.
Then I saw THE BEST THING EVER.
MY LITTLE PONY GAME OF LIFE. MUST HAVE.
Afterwards, Mal and Travis and I chilled at the train station for a little while.
All and all, was an amazing trip! Thanks guys! =D
