Road Trip Day 3

We had slept overnight in the car, parked at one of the Rideau Canal locations farther out from downtown.  Bright and early we headed out to the Parliament to watch the changing of guards.  If I'm being real... it was an over exaggerated showing with rows upon rows of troops just to exchange 2 men.  But hey, we found a spot less saturated with tourists where we could comfortably watch the show and take pictures in front of a beautiful door.

This whole outfit is thrifted (All except for my Nike shoes.) - courtesy of the Salvation Army and Value Village and Talize.  It was actually my first time going to a Talize as there are non in the city.  So on Day 1 when we went to Peterborough, I was dying to check it out (plus there was a 50% off sale).

I've really been loving the colour yellow lately

I also really want to distress these jeans.  I've just seen so many pictures and I want to have them all, but I've only got one pair

Meet my mama

We also visited the Byword Market and got wild blueberries.  Then we went to the UOttowa campus tour.

Road Trip Day 2

Welcome back to Day 2 of our Road Trip!

We slept the night in the car.  When we awoke, we headed to Sandy Beach - still in Peterborough.

I ate breakfast whilst sitting on a huge rock and gazing out into the beautiful serene lake.  Cereal with blueberries is so good.  I also read a couple pages from the book Death at SeaWorld by David Kirby.  Update: I finished the book.  I definitely learned a lot from it.  It was a pretty good read, perhaps a bit to long.  But overall 4 out of 5 stars.

We were at the beach at 7  in the morning so barely anyone was there.  Though there was a guy in the lake hunting for coins.  I really like this picture because it looks like a painting.

Oh hey mom

Pretty much the view when driving in a rural area

Ah yes.  We of course had to go back to Riverview Park and Zoo.  Meet Pablo the capybara and Grey Tail the lemur.

Later into the day we set off to Ottawa.

Oh hey mom

Oh hey swans

Looking good

That pretty much sums up the day.  Most of our time was spent in the car driving and listing to Spotify.  I got the 30 day free trial and definitely got its full use during the trip.  We especially liked listening to older songs:

Diana by Paul Anka

2 in the Morning, Step by Step and Summertime by New Kids on the Block

Calendar Girl by Neil Sedaka

(just to name a few)

Anyways, thanks for reading!
