Spa

Such a gorgeous place to spend the day. It is like a mini vacation in itself. At this Scandinavian style spa, set in the Gatineau Hills in Chelsea, Quebec, you can choose to do the basic package and enjoy the many saunas and steam baths along with hot tubs and pools and just lounge by the fire in between. You can also participate in the rituals with the saunas or do the full experience with a massage or body treatment, lunch or dinner or enjoy a glass of something on the lounge side. This is about a 30 minute beautiful drive

Sightseeing

One of my favourite places in our Nation's Capital. The architecture itself is worth the visit, but the art tops it all. Watch for special feature exhibits throughout the year. Spend an hour or the entire day and be sure to check out the gift shop. The gallery is located in the heart of the Market area so a short walk will take you to lunch, dinner or shopping.

A family favourite, visit the dinosaurs or the many regular exhibits. You and your kids will find endless fascinating things to see and do. There are special exhibits at certain times of the year. Centrally located on Argyle Avenue...just a short walk from the restaurants on Elgin or Bank Street

If you want to explore unique shops, cafe's and restaurants all in one place visit the Byward Market. There is really something for everyone....from high-end designer to the dollar store and everything in between. Also right next to the Rideau Centre mentioned on this list so you're sure to find what you're looking for.

Shopping

If you want to get out and shop, you will likely find anything you are looking for at or near the Rideau Centre in the Market. You'll find all the chain stores along with Hudson's Bay and Simons and Nordstrom Department stores. Nordstrom is one of my favourite stores...its a very civilized shopping experience and even a decent lunch at their rooftop restaurant.

Workshop and their sister store Flock on Wellington carry mostly Canadian made women designers. The clothing is all very well made and unique. My friend Kelly always wants to pay a visit whenever she comes to town.

Great Fresh Food Store for meats, produce, etc and a few accompaniments. No grocery items to speak of ...more a place to grab something to cook or ready made take home meals. There is a health food store called Rainbow right next to it for any specialty food requirements.
