We continued our staycation long weekend with a trip to see one of Ottawa's finest summer traditions, the Changing of the Guard. We arrived downtown early enough to go near the drill hall where the big march begins. Isabelle jumped for joy as soon as she heard the drums and saw the huge black hats! We were able to follow the group as they made their way past the War Memorial and Chateau Laurier to the huge crowd waiting for them on Parliament Hill. It's something everyone should see once, or if you're Isabelle's friend Logan, half a dozen times or more! Today was apparently no exception as we happened upon him right after the ceremony ended! She was thrilled to see her old chum and she made her way back to the drill hall to get a picture taken with one of her newfound heroes. Sorry Gran, when Isabelle says she wants to be a "gardener", she isn't looking to follow in your footsteps, she really means a guard!
