Another Weekend, Another Great Wedding!

K and I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Ottawa this past weekend to celebrate Tracy and Kevin’s wedding. The weather was very nice, cool but sunny, perfect for a breezy, tented ceremony on the grounds of the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata. The evening continued with a very beautiful reception and dinner in one of the modern banquet halls at Brookstreet.

Here’s our yummy dessert - a pyramid of chocolate with a creme brulee centre and a crunchy Ferrero Rocher base. Congrats to Tracy and Kevin!

K and I stayed at the Westin right in the heart of Ottawa because he had a free weekend night stay lined up from all of his visits to MN this past year. We highly recommend it, especially if you can get the corner room ending in “26” - a huge bathroom, very spacious bedroom/sitting area and floor to ceiling windows with a view of the parliament. Yeah, we know, the parliament isn’t THAT exciting, but we felt special anyway.

…And speaking of special, we felt pretty special when my sis gave us a parting gift of lady fingers and almond-lemon tart to take home to Toronto. She’s just started her pastry chef adventure at Le Cordon Bleu, and is baking up a storm up there in the nation’s capital!
