Welcome, happy birthday Oli, and jump on in!
I absolutely love Ottawa, it's our home away from home. DH is a competitive rifle shooter and started shooting in the Canadian national championships (out in Nepean) when we were first married, then added the Victoria Day matches and Valentine's Day (can't say I love it as much in February, LOL). He would shoot all day so I got to really explore the city. We made a lot of friends in the area and ended up going two or three times a year, until this year. The week of the championships I was 6 mos pg and still nursing the toddler, so it was a bit much to tackle the 8 hour drive. But I miss it!
