Patrice isn’t a “planning” kind of guy and that’s probably one of the reasons why I love him so much. He just surprises me with stuff I have no idea he’s thinking of and we have so much fun that way. Today, for example, was one of those spontaneous days of his and it served me quite well. I had been nagging him to take me to Ottawa for MONTHS because I wanted to see Canada’s capital city, but he never paid attention to me (or so I thought!) and I was sure he just didn’t want to go, but this morning he surprised me again when I thought we had absolutely no plans for the day. It was noon and he just said “Let’s go to Ottawa!”… We got ready, packed and left.

It was a really nice day for a long drive and it was Mary-Jane’s 1st birthday (that’s my car’s name, laugh at me all you want, heh!), so we went “Road Trip!”. We arrived at Parliament Hill around 2:15, walked a little, enjoyed the sun, took some photos (I’m not in any of them, I don’t like my picture taken and my camera is too young to die, ha!), I stared at the Peace Tower longer than usual (I was really impressed, I’m a kid like that) and then we made a little tour downtown. Ottawa is a really cool city, I loved it!

The trip back home was a little bit boring thanks to rush hour, but it wasn’t that bad. We got home around 7 p.m. and I put the photos in order. Now I want to take a cold shower and relax for the rest of the evening, with Patrice who is the coolest hubby in the world.
