I really feel for the out-of-town visitors who waited in line and could not get to the Hill. The rain certainly didn't help but hey like JT said, we are a hardy bunch, a bit of rain is not gonna kill us
I stayed home for most of the day and went to the Canadian Museum of History after dinner to check out the new History Hall. I took the Ottawa River Parkway from Barrhaven and it was a breeze, I ended up parking at a McD close to the Museum because there were quite a bit of road closures around the area.
I stuck around for the fireworks and I'm sure glad I did because that was one of the most spectacular show I have ever seen. Getting out of the area wasn't too bad and again there was almost no traffic on the Parkway.
Uber drivers must be making a killing last night and so did AirBnB operators I suppose! Hope to be around for the 200th!
