Guest Post: Recipe for adventure with Dada (10 steps)

Jen went to lunch with a friend on Saturday. So Margot and I (dada) thought we'd go off on a little adventure!

Step 1: Catch bus #39 at bus stop (free for under 6 year olds - woohoo!)


Step 2: Make sure you savour the journey as this is Margot's second bus ride - ever (in Ottawa). Appreciate something you do ten times a week a bit more.


Step 3: Enjoy the hustle and bustle that is the "Market", Ottawa's tourism ground zero. Take a photo of yourself but do it in a cool-I'm-a-local-sort-of-way.


Step 4: Note interesting street art with appreciative smile.


Step 5: Continue through Market until you reach big spider in front of Art Gallery. Jump.


Step 6: Spend max time in National Art Gallery that a 5-year will tolerate (30 minutes). Inwardly pat yourself on the back for buying season family pass so you don't feel guilty for leaving early.

Step 7: Walk on any ledge you see.


Step 8: Buy yummy (Ontario) grapes and local cucumbers from farmers' market.

Step 9: Return home on bus with food. Cause just enough ruckus to make any parents on the bus smile.


Step 10: Repeat as much as possible!

  2. Was it also Dad that coiffed Margot? I love her wild style, it sort of deserves a post of its own ;)

    You did everything in your outing - well done!! Bx
