Tomorrow Ted and I will be leaving for Ottawa to spend Thanksgiving with Jason, Yvonne and the girls. We, of course are looking forward to this. Ted is somewhat apprehensive about it because there are times he does not feel that great when his Parkinson's flares up and he still has an unpredicted bowel system (without going into much detail!) Nevertheless, we are very much looking forward to see our granddaughters. For Ted it will be the first time to visit Ottawa.
What makes it even more special is that Paul, Jennifer and their girls are driving up from North Carolina. They'll be leaving Friday early evening and are expected to arrive 14 hrs later. Driving through the night is a great way to travel with kids. They will be staying in a hotel downtown Ottawa, and a fancy one I might add!!! Well, that is Paul for ye!
Now to top of the excitement of this weekend, Monica surprised us by coming as well with her friend Robert. This will be the first time we are meeting him, (the poor guy). They also will stay in a Hotel. Monica insists that we have a traditional Sunday lunch. So, I had to make my famous cinnamon buns and somehow take them along. The security might just want to keep them for their coffee break.
Ted suggested why not buy them over there, but THAT does not go over too well with the rest of the family. I only hope they turned out okay, because I never know before hand. Right now they are in the freezer. The other things we can buy over there, such as cheese, meat, Pillsbury buns, crackers, desert and a treat for the kids.
Ted is bringing his camera so that means we'll be posting some pictures.
