We went down to Parliament Hill to celebrate Canada’s 142nd birthday. What a crowd! It was really great to be surrounded by all of that Canadian pride and patriotism as we count down towards our departure. We will be proud to be Canadian as we travel other countries, and we will loyally sew the maple leaf to our packs. We love this country. Damn it, we’ll miss it too.

For Christmas last year my amazing mom surprised us with a hot air balloon ride. We booked it for this past weekend thinking it would be a fantastic way to say goodbye to Ottawa before we leave. It was also a way for Mark and I to celebrate our 6 year anniversary (woah time flies!)
Take off was a bit hectic because the wind was up. There were guys on the ground running all over the place trying to time our lift off and make sure we could go up instead of side-to-side into trees and power lines. The wind finally paused just long enough and away we went. Higher and higher and higher. Once up in the air, inside the tiny basket of the hot air balloon, it was peaceful…and wicked!!!
