This weekend, Matt and I went to Ottawa. There was an Aikido seminar that he wanted to attend and since I hadn’t visited our country’s capital since I was four months old, I came along.
It was a great weekend and I’ll write up a full post this week.
For now, enjoy this photo. The view from our hotel room at the Delta.
Have you been to Ottawa? When was the last time you were there (or maybe you live there now?)????
If you have been – what’s your favourite aspect of this fine city?
Well it’s finally happened – I have an iPhone. And what’s this, I can use the WordPress app to update!

Hopefully only good can come of this… Stay tuned!
In Ontario (and also Alberta and Saskatchewan), today is Family Day. The majority of my family is in St. John’s, so Matt and I had the pleasure of going out for brunch with our friends Jon and Rachelle.
They’re both from Newfoundland and Labrador originally; Rachelle is currently attending school in Toronto and Jon was up visiting her this past week. History note: Jon and I have been friends for a heck of a long time. Going back to being in the same church choir growing up and then hanging out in high school and even more so in University onwards.
A couple of days ago, Jon suggested we go for crepes and Matt mentioned a place at Queen West and John Street. Now I’ve seen Café Crepe before, but have never gone in. Wow have I been missing out!! It turned into a really fun morning and was a great way to kick off Family Day.
Check out more details about our Adventures with Crepes in this quick video I’ve put together:
If you haven’t been to Café Crepe, I highly recommend you check it out. YUM!!
Dear VirginiaMiddleton.ca/blog,
It’s not you, it’s me. I’m sorry for neglecting you lately and it’s really nothing personal! I’ve been busy, but think about you often. Sometimes it’s late at night when I know we can’t connect because sleep is fast approaching. And sometimes it’s when I’m on the subway and we all know it’s impossible to get some precious Wi-Fi when underground.
I promise we’ll hang out very soon.
I have something fun to share with you in the meantime. I’ve been knitting a lot since the New Year 
started. In fact (and you’d be really proud of this), I’m knitting something for ME! It’s going to be a green vest. This photo doesn’t do justice to what the final project will look like, but hopefully this will help easy your annoyance for my recent absence.
See?! Isn’t it awesome!!!! I know, I know, it just looks like a green rectangle with a hole in it, but I promise the final product will be full of win and awesome-sauce; just you wait.
Lots of Internet hugs,
V
At 7:35 p.m., my husband Matt and I fly home to St. John’s for the holidays.
I’ll attempt a few updates while there, but will confess right now that I may be a little slack over the next two weeks as we haven’t been home since June and there are a lot of friends and family to visit.
Happy holidays Internets!
Virginia
