Ottawa

We made it into the city just in time to see the changing of the guard. Owen missed it because he had to find a spot for the RV but he was okay with that. We went through security again and went up the Peace Tower and looked around the city. Then we walked around the grounds and looked at all the monuments. There was even a stray cat shelter. Owen found a street vendor that sold dollar hot dogs at the market so we fed the kids lunch.
We headed for Montreal in the middle of the afternoon and found a campsite that was just outside the city. After registering we went to a Walmart to see if we could find a stroller for Jack. It seems weird to be buying a stroller but we have a lot of walking to do. It's time to start speaking French! The kids have been noticing the French. We'll have to put it to use. The mosquitoes are out tonight and Olivia and Jack got bitten pretty bad. In the evening Owen took the kids swimming and I did laundry. Owen and I tried to plan what we wanted to do in Montreal...
