This weekend, Amy and I went on a trip to Ottawa to see the Senators take on the Canadiens – it was all sorts of different adventures wrapped into one 36-ish hour period.
- Drove up in a pretty dismal rain storm in unseasonably warm, spring-like temperatures
- Visited the National War Museum and attended all of the exhibitions, which worked out to over four hours of walking around, and lots of learning – it is a surprisingly balanced place, giving a good amount of space to the peace movement and the dark aspects of war that we sometimes forget
- Had a donair for the first time in quite a while – why is it hard to find donairs in Ontario?
- Watched the Senators and Canadiens phone it in, with Montreal finally putting the Sens out of their misery in overtime. The Montreal fans should have been on the ice, their energy and enthusiasm was jaw dropping and really won the game
- Got to see Men Without Hats live, for what that was worth
- Experienced Uber for the first and second time, and was blown away at how easy and comfortable it was
- Stayed at the Best Western GLo, a nifty little hotel off of the 417, and came back to extra surprises from the people who helped provide this weekend
- Woke up to snow-and-ice-pocalypse, which basically turned most of Ottawa into a frozen nightmare
- Had to drive home in said nightmare – though it mercifully got much better progressively as we moved west on Highway 7
