A moment of pride!

Some call it the May long weekend!  Some call it Victoria day.  Whatever it is, it is a holiday in these parts and often this weekend is marked as the beginning of summer for us Canadians.  We found ourself visiting Ottawa…a reunion with relatives.  Ottawa (our nation’s capital) is a five hour trip from our home in Waterloo.  Sometimes these moments along a stretch of road breeds perspective.  We live in a beautiful country, some say the best place on earth to live.  The road brought me awareness of how truly blessed we really all are.  On a cool and windy Sunday afternoon our family strolled from our hotel towards the Parliament buildings.  It was a sight to behold as the glorious symbol of our democracy unveiled itself….Ok…I’m getting carried away, but the buildings that house our government in session are truly magnificent.  Here is a quick snap of the Parliament Building and The Peace Tower.
