Tourists in our own city


One of the things I love most about Ottawa in the summer is that every weekend we can find something to do.  Meredith loves exploring, and so do I. So, what better then to be tourists in our own city? This weekend it was Open Doors Ottawa. This is when people can go and look at embassies, museums, houses est. that are not normally open to the general public. The best part of it: It’s free!!!!!!
Meredith LOVES buses!! Every time she sees a bus, she yells: ABUS! She gets so exited. So, I thought the best place to take her would be to the OC Transpo Industrial Garage. We got to see old buses and new ones. We got to go up the stairs of a double decker bus. We also took the garage tour that included a bus wash! It was lots of fun. Meredith loved it!
Point for the day:
50 points for taking her to the industrial garage
50 points for keeping her safe from the owl mascot that she was afraid of
100 points: 20 points for every bus we went on and checked out
50 points for coming home and putting her down for a nap before a total breakdown (I had originally wanted to take her to see the O-train but thought it might take too long since she had been up since 6:30)
Point total: 250
