Hot Hot Hot....High High High

Two big things happened today for us here in Ottawa, one was the EXTREME heat and the other was the price of gas.

We have been having above average temperatures here, usually we would be in the mid 20s (celsius) at the most, today we hit 29 degrees and with the humidity it felt like 39. For me it is a little too hot, it is like hitting a wall when walking out of the house. I believe we will be having this weather for the next little while along with thunderstorms. The weather men are also expecting an above average summer, so I guess I will be taking advantage of the local beaches around here, hopefully it won't be too crowded.


Our gas here is also on the rise, I noticed today that it was at 134.5 a litre. Not so good for me who drives quite a bit to get to work and I also drive the kids around to their various activities. I have a feeling this may prevent a lot of families from vacationing too far from home. I'm not sure how much I will do except for a wedding and more races coming up at the end of the summer. What kind of plans do you have for the summer months? Traveling much? What are some of your Hots and Highs?




Also a great big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to this little girl. She turned 1 year old today!
