Canadian Museum of History

We all walked through this great hall with totem poles and big windows overlooking the Ottawa River. Then John took Harry through the rest of the historical exhibits while the girls went back to play in the children’s museum.

The Canadian History Museum is right across the river from Parliament Hill. We took our snack breaks outside here.
We also borrowed a complimentary stroller!

McLeod Park, Myrtle Beach

Maggie and I walked here with Poppy while the older kids went mini golfing. Maggie wanted to try a new park.
Snack time!
It wasn’t uncommon to see a big cactus growing in a front yard here and there.
