My Weekend: Fun Being Iced Out in Canada’s Capital

From our search for the best Poutine, the Canadian delicacy made of French fries, Gravy and cheese curd, to Maple snow taffy and more, the kids LOVED our trip to Ottawa, for Canada's Winterlude over the weekend. The food and fun is world class. The Festival continues through February 20th. To make the trip even more rewarding, the Canadian exchange rate gives you a generous discount on all your purchases.

The kids will never forget dogsledding at Jacques Cartier park.
