...to Ottawa with another couple

My partner and I went to Ottawa with another couple for the weekend on Saturday November 12th. We had tickets to see Chris Deburgh in concert, and we wanted to do a little shopping as well. It was a great weekend. We arrived about noon and went to a couple of stores shopping before checking in to the hotel. I brought some tools and my partner brought some items for the house. That done it was off to the hotel, where we checked in and got settled in our rooms before supper. Supper was at 5 PM and it was quite good. The resurant wasn't busy, and the service was great, and I had the salmon, one of my favourite foods.

At 6:30 PM we set off for the concert. We had great seats in the second row, just to the left of centre. While I'm not a fan, the show was very good. He sang for about 2.5 hours straight to a sellout crowd, who obviously enjoyed the show by the number encores he received. After the show it was back to the hotel where we sat in our friends room drinking wine and chatting back and forth till about 1:00 AM.

The next morning we checked out of the hotel and found this great dinner where we all had huge breakfasts before we set off back home. It trully was a wonderful weekend. It was great to be with true friends. We are starting to get quite close, which is nice as they want us to pick the next concert we should go to.
