Every once in a while you get to mix fun with pleasure. I am a bit of a political junkie and took the opportunity to visit our Nations Capital.
Centre Block of the Parliament Buildings. Pm's offices on the left side second floor. The green tinge to the glass would be because of its bullet proofing.
The Confederation Building next door where my Member of Parliament's office is located.
Supreme Court.
Trip up the clock tower to make sure the time is right.
Pretty good view from there. Looking over the Library toward Quebec.
Waiting for my MP Minister Menzies to come out to the scrum area to have a visit after Question Period.
Many of the floors are marble. The stone mason has his work cut out for him here in the rotunda.
Had a visit with Senator McCoy. Lots to talk about as she, her EA, and a guard toured my wife and I around the nooks and crannies most of us commoners aren't allowed to tread.
Sir John A's original office as it was in the East block.
Governor Generals office from the same time.
Privy Council Chamber last used in the seventies. I would show you a pic of me sitting in the PM's chair but we are not allowed to do that. :shock:
The Senators office.
Parliament Hill from the Quebec side of the river.
Had a good time and took lots of pictures as well as schmoozed with a bunch of political types. Ranching Politics can get you a ways from the ranch on occasion.
