Day 1 - from Mississauga to Ottawa

Driven today: 510 KM
Total distance:  510 km

We started the day at 5 am, on the road by 6 am.  Since we had to cross Toronto from West to East we were trying to beat Toronto's rush hour traffic.

It was still dark when we left our apartment in downtown Mississauga


And soon after we had a chnce to see the sunrise


The Big Apple is a necesay stop for me to eat a sliceof apple pie.  This is a well known pie factory and their apple crumble pie is my favourite.  As soon as we arrived we saw the car of our daughter in law who was going to spend the evening with us in Ottawa.   She was coming with our grandchildren Julian and Chloe




We arrived to Ottawa around noon and we meet our son Rob, who lives in Ottawa at the Canadian Museum of Nature where we spent the afternoon.

  It is a great Museum for kids, it has all kinds of acctivities for them


Latr we went to visit Rob and CA at their place



And later family dinner at a great diner

After dinner uncle Rob treated  everyone to goodies at a candy store


To end the day we walked at dusk to the Parliament buildings and Julian visited the statue of Terry Fox, a true Canadian hero
