Have Fun, Will Travel

Heading out of Ottawa for a weekend is nothing new for this family. However, this weekend was unique as it included a big highlight, a night in a hotel! A commonplace occurrence for any normal adult, but for two little ones, it was a real treat! We had a spot on the Syracuse University campus, taking us back to our post-secondary days, with convenience stores and take-out food galore, plus Starbucks and Dunkin' nearby! Next morning, we lounged and enjoyed our room, then headed to the Carousel Mall (you might guess how it got its name as you review the pictures). Isabelle enjoyed a ride on the horse she called "Black Beauty", had a fries-filled lunch at Arby's and then headed downstairs for her first glimpse of the big guy in red, Santa! She gave him a preliminary list of potential gifts and received her marching orders to "Help out with Oliver." Needless to say, she is now eager to please Santa and her parents are happy to remind her of this regularly!
