School is out and summer has officially arrived. I love summer because the days are longer, the weather is warm and many a day is spent outside with the kids being more active than during any other season.
As you may recall, for the past few years I have participated in the Summer of Awesome, a fun summer activity initiative created by Lynn at Diary of a Turtlehead. We are so lucky to have so many beautiful parks, entertaining festivals, fairs, and events in the Ottawa area that’s not hard to make summer awesome in the Nation’s Capital.
This year’s Summer of Awesome includes some places we have visited before and loved so much that we want to see again, while others are new. Here are the places we want to visit/do this summer for our Summer of Awesome!
