Spent the last four days going to, in and traveling from Toronto. We (Karen, myself and a resident alien, true life Canadian Allison King<\/a> [note Allison has not left any other mark on the web except this PDF file that she is a part of]) left early Thursday morning, arrived 9 short hours later at my temporary condo. Had a fine Thanksgiving dinner at Movenpick<\/a>, a restaurant in Yorkville<\/a>, which could be described as the Newbury Street of Boston. Exhausted, we retired early to be ready for Friday, when we…<\/p>\n

a) took an elevator up 114 stories to the top of the CN Tower<\/a>, the tallest structure in the world. Stood on the glass floor. Sat on the glass floor. Wow.<\/p>\n

b) Had lunch at the Hard Rock<\/a> in<\/a> the Skydome<\/a>. I’m a Hard Rock pin collector, so we had to go here just to get a pin, plus I’d love to see as many baseball stadiums as I possibly can. No baseball, but we could see the field. I *saw*, but didn’t go into, the other Hard Rock Cafe in Toronto. \ud83d\ude41 [note: I’ve got 17 Hard Rock pins so far… Hong Kong, Kowloon, Beijing, Amsterdam, Washington DC, Baltimore, NYC, Skydome, Paris, Vegas, Los Angeles, Seoul, London, Memphis, Lake Tahoe, and Newport Beach. Maybe I should get the Boston one soon. ]<\/p>\n

c) shopping at the Eaton Centre<\/a> (remember, I’m with 2 girls on the day after Thanksgiving, I didn’t have a choice)<\/p>\n

d) nap<\/p>\n

e) dinner at the Green Papaya<\/a> (great Thai food!)<\/p>\n

f) saw My Big Fat Greek Wedding<\/a> (for the second time)<\/p>\n

g) fabulous crepes at Golden Griddle<\/a><\/p>\n

and then Saturday when we…<\/p>\n

a) toured the Casa Loma<\/a> castle<\/p>\n

b) had lunch at Harvey’s<\/a> (supposedly the best burgers in Canada, eh?)<\/p>\n

c) napped..<\/p>\n

d) went to Ikea (what? why you ask? who knows…)<\/p>\n

e) late dinner and drinks at the Duke of York<\/a>, a wonderful Irish pub near U of T<\/a>. Had my first Caffrey’s<\/a>.<\/p>\n

and finally… Sunday (today), we drove the normally 9 hour drive in approximately 12 hours due to snow, hail, numerous traffic jams due to pile-ups, and Thanksgiving traffic. I’m exhausted. Pictures? Coming soon..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
