Fridays drive went by surprisingly fast and we got into Ottawa around 7pm. We relaxed for a little bit while waiting for Erika and Ty to show up before going out for dinner.
Apparently the City of Ottawa is not scared of a little ice. That paired with the fact that Tessa took us off the beaten path on our way to the restaurant meant that I fell (to everyone's amusement), and everyone else used the ice to slide down hills along the way. What a mess we are.
The next day we spent the afternoon at Winterlude looking at ice sculptures and walking around the Byward Market while waiting for Nathan to arrive on his bus.
Once he arrived we quickly ate dinner before heading out to a Craft Beer and Art Gallery Tour. It was a great way to spend the night with friends in a way we wouldn't usually (even if we didn't quite understand everything we looked at).
After that we went down to a pool hall to spend the rest of the night embarrassing ourselves with our lack of skills.
The next day led to a slightly rough wakeup, followed by a much needed breakfast, and finished up with a very sleepy car ride.
All together it was a completely amazing weekend. I had so much fun with some of my very favourite people on the planet. Maybe next time we go the city will have thawed a bit.
