Afternoon at Westboro beach

Posted by andrea tomkins in: - Ottawa for kids|- Westboro|Easy ways to make kids happy

It was one of the windiest days on record, and dare I say, almost chilly, but the sand and water beckoned. We spent some enjoyable hours taking it all in and ended off our day with gelato from Truffle Treasures.

Thanks everyone.

Shannon: these are all iPhone photos. The effect is done with an app called Polarize. :)

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
