have a patriotic weekend

I will be spending Canada Day down in one of my favourite cities, Washington DC, visiting my sister Becky and my new brother-in-law, Nick with Jen, Dennis and Alice.  Canada Day in the US is not entirely patriotic, but we're bringing a little Canadian spirit to the long weekend down there as well.  We'll be there until July 4th,  taking in some festivals, fireworks and probably lots of food, and I'm actually quite excited to spend the long weekend at the Nation's Capital. 

Happy Birthday Canada and hope you all have a very patriotic long weekend - whichever side of the border you're on!
