We wish nothing more, but we will accept nothing less. Masters in our own house we must be, but our house is the whole of Canada. -Trudeau


It was truly a grand time on The Hill for the birthday of Canada!
Alison treated me like royalty, and decorated my shirt in true Canadian spirit!

We enjoyed the sights and sounds of Ottawa including the concerts on the Hill (although the talking head was a bit much), walks through the market, Aboriginal drum circles and a great bbq "hosted" by Alison's brother!


Although the trip was a little rushed there was still time to unwind and enjoy delicious cake (Alison did the baking, I did the decoration)!

We had an absolutely perfect time at the fireworks



We revelled in the atmosphere that exuded from the celebratory crowd, and joined in several renditions of O Canada throughout the day!

I am so jealous dude. I was in the centre working, on Canada Day, and I would have loved to have been in Ottawa this weekend. I've still yet to experience Ottawa on Canada Day, but I swear, next year's the year!
