Ottawa Adventures

The first week of May, Corey and I enjoyed a wonderful week in Ottawa. Corey attended the national Credit Union Conference during the days, and I got to adventure around Ottawa. Here are a few pics from our trip...

The International Tulip festival was in Ottawa the week we were there. With millions of tulips, the city was beautiful. Below is a picture of the Netherlands display at the International Pavilion. They had displays from dozens of countries around the world.

There were beautifully painted 4 foot tulips surrounding the festival grounds in downtown Ottawa.

Corey and I also 'met' the mascots for the China Olympics...

One evening we visited the Civilization Museum. If you haven't been, you really need to explore this amazing museum. It is a place we like to visit every time we're in Ottawa.

We thought this might have been a display highlighting hairdos like Corey's...lol

Another evening we went for a long walk along the Canal...


And ended up at the second location of the tulip festival... with beds and beds of tulips.

Final, we couldn't leave Ottawa without going to the aviation museum. If you dont' know, Corey loves everything about aviation...He is even, very very slowly, taking classes for his private piolet license.

And what's a trip to Ottawa without a stop at Parliment Hall.

We actually has the unique opportunity of sitting in on Question Period! What a neat experience.
