HOME SWEET BED!

We are now finished travelling northward back to Canada. We enjoyed the towns we visited including a 3 hour visit to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania (on Memorial Day of all days). We learned about the 1863 battle there with a CD audio tour that we played while driving to designated spots of interest. This was well worth the visit because as a Canadian, we didn’t learn about this specific battle during the American Civil War. It was a small struggle to actually leave the town because a parade (huge one with horses, marching bands, different divisions of army in their period costumes etc). Most roads were blocked off. We drove down 3 alleys. Every turn was a blockade. Finally a police officer directed us around one just before the parade started. I thought we would be in Gettysburg for another 2 hours watching a parade!! Which would have been fine if we didn’t have more driving to do.

We visited Williamsburg, Virgina and loved it. We had a superb lunch there. The buildings were old and very well maintained.

Amazing how long ago colleges
were established

Ottawa is such a beautiful city this time of year. The Rideau Canal is a skating rink in the winter and now it is full of water with flowers planted along the waterway. We look forward to enjoying Ottawa this summer along with our family. Much to celebrate as we await our first grandchild in the Fall. We hope you all have things to celebrate this summer.

Safe travels
