Trip to Ottawa

Earlier this month, Arabella and I decided to join Jay on a trip to Ottawa.  It was a quick overnight trip during the week, but fun nonetheless.  Jay dropped Arabella and I off at the Canadian Museum of Science and Technology and then he headed off to his meeting at the dealer.  We had fun exploring the museum all afternoon (some of the exhibits were a little advanced for Arabella, but she still had fun checking things out) - and were worn out by the time Jay came back to get us!

 Checking out a snow plow.

 Learning about leaders in Canadian science and technology.

And exhibit on the Titanic.

 Checking out the canoe exhibit.

 There was a really neat exhibits on cars.

I think she liked the train exhibit the best.  It was a huge room filled with full size trains!

Look how little she looks next to the huge trains!

Driving one of Dad's off-highway trucks!

She had fun on the snowmobile too!

 Trying out the real, working periscope!

Once Jay picked us up, we checked out the train and rocket that was outside before it got to chilly!

Our hotel was nice, but the room was a little odd...like the really big clock on the kitchen wall but the tiny stove...

or the one legged sink in the bathroom...

We stayed in a fun area with little stores and bakeries.  We found so really yummy cookies and Arabella was excited to get a Hello Kitty cookie!

The next morning we had a very good breakfast and then hit the road to get home in time for school for Arabella.  We got very silly in the car on the ride home which was a lot of fun!

Thanks for letting us tag along Jay, we had a very fun time!!
