Evacuated from the Canadian Embassy area

Last Wednesday, the kids and I were lunching in the park near the Canadian Embassy. I noticed a few fire trucks and ambulances on the street sandwiched between the Canadian Embassy and the courts. The area was being cleared away for some reason, police tape was put up and we were asked to leave the park. At least we had already finished our lunch!

I snapped this picture as we walked away.

I'm assuming it was some sort of training, but I don't really know. We left town Thursday morning for another break away from the world stay at Shenandoah National Park. If you haven't been, I highly recommend it!
