Science!

Ottawa is a nice place. It's full of great parks and all sorts of museums and monuments.
We were here for a few days since we needed to do some laundry which took up most of the first day and that night we got some much needed rest. The next day we headed down town to find some parking and then do some exploring.
We found the Locks on the Rideau canal which look like they have not been changed in a hundred years yet still do quite a good job at getting boats up and down.
After a long flight of stairs up a cliff we found the Parliament buildings and the many statues around it.
We used up our time pretty quickly and had to move on to make it to Sudbury with enough time to find a hotel.

The next morning I got to go someplace I had been wanting to return to for 20 years.

Science North is a really cool science centre. It's smaller than the Ontario Science Centre but much cooler in that almost all of the displays are hands on.
I loved the place when I went as a kid so I wanted to see how much had changed since then. They have replaced a lot of the older displays with newer ones and I found them to be a bit less cool than the original ones I saw but overall it's still awesome. I even got to see the flying squirrel show that I had missed the first time around!
Maby I should try to get a job there building displays! That would be awesome!
