Mary learns to crawl...

... on the floor of the Comfort Inn in Ottawa, Ontario. It was pretty cool. She spotted what she wanted, moved forward, and got it.

We left Sault Ste Marie around 10am and arrived around 7pm in Ottawa. Yet another hotel, but we weren't expecting cheap since it's a big city. Scott scored us a free room upgrade unintentionally, too. We have a fridge and microwave!

After we unloaded our stuff we took our first trip downtown to walk around. I caught some cool nightshots of Parliament. We certainly are in BilingualLand now. Scott's having a bit of a hard time. We've argued that, yes, there IS a difference between Laurier and Laurent, and they are two completely different streets. He also reads both the French and English on signs and ends up with something like "the Pont Bridge." A pont IS a bridge, so that's not going to help when asking for directions either.

Kid fell asleep in the car on the way back, so she then woke up when being taken out, and she's doing the same thing as last night. It'll either be the all-night boobfest or a lot of being awake and screaming. Scott doesn't understand that both these scenarios stress the crap out of me and thinks it's just fun to keep her up playing.

I might try to get some photos up tonight, but I've got a LOT to organize now and Scott needs to work on a project for his advocacy course (it doesn't really count as "working on it" to open a Word document and save it with nothing more than the question copied and pasted at the top).

Tomorrow we're doing the Museum of Civilization and more wandering about downtown. We're unsure where we'll end up last night. It depends on how much time we spend in Ottawa. We'd like to camp, since the weather will be warm.
