On March 1st, I went to Ottawa, to visit with two of my ggd's. One actually lives there and is studying for her Ph.D. and the other was on reading week from her college so she took the bus to Ottawa, so they could have some sister time together, before we arrived in the afternoon. Mum and Dad helped "K" with some groceries, student funds only just go so far. We had had a busy day, so did not go out for dinner but had lasagna and garlic bread, which DD2 had brought with her.
Saturday, we went to the museum of Science and Technology, which was very interesting as many different things were displayed, we then did some shopping and met "K's" boy friend. In the evening we all walked to China Town and found a small, but lovely Japanese restaurant where we had a delicious dinner. The first time for me eating Japanese dishes and loved it. So much so, I later purchased ingredients to make my own.
Sunday, we met up with some parents in the group who adopted children the same time my DD2 and hubby did, six of the girls also joined us too. We all had a very delicious and filling brunch, a catchup on all the news, and sadly parted again until the reunion in the Summer. Unfortunately our visit with "K" ended and we headed to Peterborough which was approximately a three hour drive, to take "C" back to her apartment, she also needed some groceries so Mum and Dad helped, again. They are both very good cooks, so making their own meals is a lot more economical than having it ordered in. DD2, hubby and I stayed in a hotel overnight as we still had three plus hours before getting home and by this time it was getting too late to start that trip.
Monday morning at 10:00 a.m. we started for home, arriving around 2:00 p.m. The end of a great visit and a nice weekend getaway.
It was a cloudy day for travelling on Friday, and it was cool and damp for the weekend, however, coming home today we had temps reaching 20*C and sun.
It is nice to go away for a few days but, also to be home again.
Have a great day
Cheers
