I Walked 18 Kms this Weekend

I did my walk around the museum that I posted below on Saturday and then another walk on Sunday through Bonnie Doon, Holyrood and Forest Heights. I took Blackbird Jr with me on Saturday and while I wondered if taking a 4 year old on a 4 hour walk would be a big mistake, he did beautifully. We stopped at any playground we saw for a few minutes and did a detour to Westmount mall for lunch. Pushing the stroller though the slushy snow, however, was freaking hard! He did walk sometimes but 8 kms is just too far for him.

Some photos:

Modern new house by an older character house. I love the diversity of housing styles in older neighbourhoods.



The houses in Westmount are just beautiful.





I call this one the Owl House. It's in the Holyrood/Forest Heights area.



and I found a Mystery Machine!
