Alan's trip to Ottawa






Alan went to Ottawa to visit his sister Christine, Aunt Molly and some other friends. I'm sure he won't mind if I recap his trip for him. He did have an action packed two weeks in our nation's capital. He went over to Quebec to do zip lining and spelunking. I don't actually have any pictures from that part of the trip though supposedly he did try to do some 'Amazing Race' helmet cam shots (minus the helmet cam which almost resulted in the end of our cam) . Alan also went to see the Art Gallery and did some other touristy things like hang out in the market. No trip to Ottawa would be complete without a visit to Aunt Molly's so they all packed up and went out to her cottage. It was hot as, well, you can imagine! I know they spent a lot of time in the water.

Alan also visited the adoption agency (facilitator) that coordinates the China adoptions for our provincial agency. He had a great chat with the people who run it. Unfortunately they were also able to confirm or speculate that the wait times for our referral would indeed be extending. :(

I suppose I am not really doing his trip justice so maybe he can edit this post later on. While he was away I took care of my number one boy (Charlie) and generally lived the life of Riley. Despite what some may have thought, I did not starve to death in the absence of my chef.
