Travel Day

  • Montpelier, VT to Ottawa, ON via I-89 (VT), Rte 133 (PQ), Hwy 35 (PQ), Hwy 10 (PQ), Hwy 15 (PQ), TCH (PQ, ON)
Whether you are in Vermont, Quebec, or even Alberta, sometimes the barn is not for cows. Sometimes it's to keep the toys safe.

Yep. That's where we are headed. Big sign, eh?

The Quebec welcome sign is certainly big enough. Then again, most of the state welcome signs are a pretty fair size too.

The Bridge Across the River St. Laurent, right beside Montreal.

That's Montreal over there. We decided to keep going. We've both been there a few times already.

There is still an awful lot of ice on the Ottawa River. Spring has only just begun.

Getting closer to Ottawa, our nation's capital. The Ontario welcome sign is pretty big too.

Once you get to Ottawa, especially if you take the scenic route along the Ottawa River into the city, you come to this place first. Too cool.

There is is a "gardener's cottage" on the grounds of Rideau Hall.

This is said "cottage". I would like to live in this cottage.

This is the big house, the one where the Queen's official representative in Canada gets to live. The Queen is not here at present.

Mr. Harper? Mr. Harper? Are you in there Mr. Harper? When will you be moving? I like this house.

The big house of Canada, also known as the Parliament Building.

There is an East Block and a West Block, because politicians always need more real estate.

This is probably the single most important store in downtown Ottawa, at least if you are Katherine.
