I assume it’s named after the famous Navy flying squad: https://www.blueangels.navy.mil/

They’d be a bit young for that, I think. It is a great museum though.

That’s great, thank you! We lived in the city in our single/DINK days so a number of these weren’t even on my radar. I had no idea you can water taxi to QC now! That might be a fun one.

I get that, though it does have some cool features (the Science Center is fantastic). But that trip was to see particular people rather than the city itself. We’ll miss them, but we also don’t feel super safe crossing the border right now.

I lived in Ottawa for four years, actually, and my husband for over a decade – but I haven’t been back since 2013 and our kids have never visited. I’m actually really looking forward to revisiting some of my old stomping ground with them!

We haven’t really filled out our itinerary yet, so I don’t mind suggestions on things to do with the kids in particular (all elementary school age). So far we’re thinking touring the Hill & Peace Tower, the Museum of Nature, whatever the Museum of Civilization is called these days, and maybe one of the river/canal boat tours.

Our family was supposed to go to Baltimore this summer but instead we’re going to Ottawa :)
