Happy Victoria Day

For the Victoria Day long weekend, my family took a trip to Ottawa. We had never been there before so we decided to attend the 2008 Tulip Festival. Seeing as both my parents immigrated to Canada from Holland, it was about time I went. It rained on the way down and part of the way home but the weather cooperated while we were there. What more can you ask for? It was a great time. We were walking distance from all of the attractions and took in as much as we could. I have included a few photos below.
The Tulip Festival includes exhibits from countries all over the world. We had a passport that allowed us to sample foods from the countries featured and we enjoyed specialties from Holland, China, Mexico, Peru, Germany & Indonesia. It was alot of fun.
