Weekend in Toronto

toronto

We had such an amazing time in Toronto this past weekend!

We got in late on Friday night, and just grabbed an uber.  Our airbnb was amazing and just $71 a night (if you’ve never done airbnb before you can get $30 off your first booking through this referral link}.  The host stayed up to let us in and show us around.

I pretty much love anywhere I visit.  I can’t honestly think of one place I haven’t enjoyed.  But Toronto now has a special place in my heart.  It didn’t hurt that the weather was SO nice and nothing I tasted wasn’t OMGoooodness so good.  But here’s what we did (:

Saturday morning Steph and Neal graciously hosted a brunch for the out of towners at Colette.  I felt like I had died and gone straight to heaven.  The decor is INSANEly good.  Food was amazing too!  And company even better (:

From there, Shalyn and Drew (who I love sooo much!!)  JB and I, headed to a Blue Jays game!  JB scored some good tickets on stub hub a few minutes before.  The Rays games here don’t have the same great atmosphere of a Blue Jays game.  We had a blast!!   After JB and I grabbed a beer and an appetizer at Bier Markt, and then walked all around that fun area.

We rested a bit and then met up with Shalyn and Drew again for dinner at Sotto Sotto, which was a delicious authentic Italian restaurant. Gloria Toronto Coffee

The next morning we walked to Gloria – which had great coffee and yummy breakfast sandwiches.  And was so cute!her majesty's pleasure

Then Shay and I had our hair done at Her Majesty’s Pleasure    – interesting name choice but words and pictures don’t do this place justice.  Part bar, juice bar, coffee shop, nail salon, blow dry bar, cute shop…  perfectly decorated.  It was so fun!!

Prior to the wedding we stopped off at Playa Cabana for a pre wedding margarita and guac.  The wedding was at Casa Loma and was a total dream!!  

I hate I didn’t get a better picture of them but Ryan Ray sure did!  They both looked absolutely stunning!!  It was such an honor to be there, witnessing such pure and true love.  For each other and most of all for Christ!   We love them so much!!!

The morning after the wedding we walked to Roncesvalles village which was near our airbnb.  The coffee shops, cute little bakeries, and shops were all adorable.  So much is in bloom right now – I couldn’t wipe the smile off of my face.  We grabbed some coffee and a bite (maple prosciutto strudel!) at Extra Butter.  We packed up later that afternoon, took the UP (which was easy, inexpensive, and clean!) straight to the airport.

Clearly I loved Toronto!!  It was also so nice for us to just be us again.  I missed my kids so much, but knew they were having a great time with grandparents.  (:
