TRIP TO OTTAWA! Stanley Cup Finals Game #4

On June 4th I went on a road trip to Ottawa with some friends to support our heroes. We went and watched the game on the big screen outside of Scotiabank Place in the rain. It sucked that it was raining but it was a lot of fun. We got taped by a camera man singing Raise a Little Hell by Trooper. He asked us to sing that song because Trooper was performing outside there that night for the Sens fans. So one of the people who came with us on the trip is from the Ottawa area and just happen to know someone at the game and it turns out we were shown singing on the jumbo tron (however you spell that) inside. I'm glad I didn't know anyone at the game:P. We also got our picture taken by a newspaper photographer and got to stand in line behind Vermette's dad on mission into the beer tent for shelter. So it was a disappointing loss that night followed by the ultimate disappointment only two days later. On our way to Ottawa we got hungry so we decided to stop in a town called Kemptville for something to eat. We ended up getting lost. There was a bunch of construction and detours which didn't help the situation. For anyone who is from or has ever been to Kemptville you are probably laughing right now, because it is not a very big town. The photo above was taken in Kemptville. It was a great town. There were GO SENS GO signs everywhere from McDonald's signs to gingerbread cookies at Tim Horton's. We even got a discount on our meals at McDonald's because we were wearing our Sens gear. After the game we went to have dinner at a restaurant called Jack Astor's. Let's just say I was not impressed with that restaurant at all. You would think spending $20.00 for a meal you would a least get a coke that wasn't flat. We spent the night in Ottawa that night and drove home in the morning. Well that about wraps up my trip to Ottawa. So I even managed to get myself onto the Senators website. Its about a millisecond of me but still:P. If you feel like checking out just go here and click on Fan in the red zone for game # 4. http://www.playoffs.ottawasenators.com/eng/
(For some reason the site seems to be down. Oh well, we WERE on the Senators website:P)
