Happy hour

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Ottawa

The other day I drove downtown to meet Mark for a beer after work. I was early, and he had a few things he needed to wrap up before he left, so I went for a stroll. This was something I used to do a lot; walk around, take photos, admire the views, relax into my own thoughts and just enjoy the beauty around me. If you live in Ottawa, you probably know exactly what I’m talking about.

Stickers on a hydro pole, National Gallery. This is my Ottawa!

A view of Maman in winter.

Afterwards, we went to the Grand Pizzeria. We split a Beau’s and munched on 1/2 price pizza. It was a good way to cap off a pretty walk, don’t you think?

Hmm. I can’t remember and the info isn’t on their website right now. Mark thinks it’s between 3-6 but you might want to call ahead!

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.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.
