work brought me to Toronto once again, although this time we stayed in a different area. our trip happened to coincide with Adele playing for two nights and the Blue Jays playing a wild card game at home.  things were a little crowded, but energy was high.

we went back to a couple old favorites….Little India for dinner one night and of course Momofuku to get some Compost Cookies and Crack Pie.  seriously delicious treats, although probably not the healthiest of choices.

since we visited the zoo last time we were in town, this time we opted for the fish zoo, otherwise known as the aquarium.  pretty fun time, lot’s of super cool jellyfish and other under the sea creatures. it was a fun way to spend part of the day and wasn’t too expensive.

we also went to the top of the CN Tower to check out the view of the city.  good thing we went when we did as the rain came in later in the day and the views quickly became of clouds. this was a little expensive for an attraction, but the views were cool.  if we had planned a little better we could have had brunch in the 360 restaurant, which would have been an added bonus but we waited too long to look into it.

if you’re thinking about seeing the aquarium, zoo or CN Tower during your Toronto visit, i suggest purchasing a CityPass, it’s definitely the way to go cost-wise.

Steam Whistle Brewery was across from the aquarium and they had a free tasting, so of course we popped in there.  free beer, hello.

oh, and we had a celebrity experience (you know i love celebrity sightings!).  we met Jacqueline Byers, who recently finished filming the Showtime series Roadies.  i marathoned that show when i was sick a couple of weeks ago, so i recognized her immediately.  sadly the show wasn’t renewed, so i won’t be seeing her in that role again, but a fun sighting none the less.

the customs experience was a lot better this trip.  i don’t know if people were nicer or if knowing the ins and outs made the difference, but i’d give it a 9 on the ease scale.

we are headed back there in April 2017, wonder what we’ll go and see then?!
