Ottawa. What a great weekend!

This weekend, I got a chance to relax and enjoy the sites of Ottawa with the rest of the National Team. As great as the weekend was...it was the small things of everyday life that really made this weekend special for me. My top 3:

1. Brunch at Colin and Sonia's. What amazing hosts! Being the Chair of the Board of Directors, Colin was gratious enough to have the entire national team all over for brunch on Sunday morning. We got to meet his lovely family, feast on homemade gooooooodness...(it was sooo nice to have a homecooked meal!) and just relax in the comforts of a family home. It was the ultimate 'zen' for all of our team...and we all absolutely loved the short 3 hours we got to spend with Colin and his family. Thanks again!

2. Driving! We rented a brand new Jeep Cheroke with only 8km. on it for the weekend. 967 kilometers later, we have returned to our house in Toronto. But having the chance to drive to Ottawa (and also a little joy-ride after returning to Toronto...hehe...) it made me feel normal again. The little things that I used to take for granted - now mean so much.

3. Partying at the Cabin. On Friday night, after arriving in Ottawa, Carolyn, Jean-Nic and myself headed down to a club in Byward Market called The Cabin. It was absolutely packed with other Canada Day celebrants from across Canada and it was just great getting to party in a packed bar and dancing until close. It definitely was something I miss from Edmonton and the atmosphere at this bar was so much fun!

Thank you Ottawa for an amazing weekend :)
