All of these day trips and ideas for Canada and the Ottawa area. Thanks for posting about all the things there are to do around there during the day and at night. This is a perfect website to help you plan your vacation! The only thing left for me to do is look into different hotels ottawa and decide where I want to stay the nights! Can you tell me where I could find those options?
