Departure
Merritt, Christine and Vaughan in front of Dad's place in Ottawa

at Nate's
Dad usually takes the family to Nate's for breakfast -- somehow he missed this chance but we stopped for a photo anyway

In the Market
Merritt in the center of the photo followed by Vaughan in Ottawa's downtown marketplace. I remember lugging Vaughan on my back when we shopped here most weekends 25 or so years ago.

The American Embassy
Vaughan and Merritt with the American Embassy to their right and the top of the Art Museum visible behind them. Merritt wanted to see where her tax money was going

Tankers
Adrian and Merritt on top of a tank at the War Museum. Merritt wanted to see the museum. Vaughan does not drive tanks, he said

Adrian is into Armour
Aren't you glad he's on our side?
