Traipsing Around Toronto with a Toddler: Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada
When our son was about five years old, we decided to drive to Toronto one long weekend to basically traipse around, do fun things, and be kids again. On the list were the LEGOLAND Discovery Centre in Vaughn Mills, the Toronto Zoo, and Ripley’s Aquarium. This trip was going to be all about our son and the things he was crazy about (at that age) – LEGO, animals, and aquariums. We did not plan anything else, as for sure, the three fun places alone would tire us. Ripley’s Aquariu

Meeting "The Boss" in Toronto
Our 2012 visit to Toronto was mainly to see Bruce Springsteen in concert, and my husband and I managed to squeeze in some date time that weekend. Little did we know that seeing “The Boss” would go beyond the typical arms-length encounter between the performer-on-stage and his audience, but something that was much, much closer. And it was totally unplanned...and unexpected. My husband is a huge fan of “The Boss.” When he heard that Bruce Springsteen and his E Street Band were

Taking a Break in Toronto
Since moving to Ottawa, we’ve only been to Toronto four or five times, which is not a lot. I guess it’s because we have always preferred going to Montreal. It’s closer and more accessible to us, and my husband’s family lives there. It has become our second home here in the East Coast. And we’ve never really had any compelling reason to drive five hours to Toronto each way. However, the last two times that we visited were quite memorable. The first one involved a first date of

Thoughts on Toronto
Toronto was the very first city I visited in Canada, even before I lived in Vancouver. I went to Toronto in the summer of my second-to-the-last year in university. That time, I was part of a theatre group that got invited by our North American alumni association to perform in four cities in the U.S. and Canada East Coast – New York, Washington D.C., Detroit, and Toronto. I liked Toronto right away. It is a bustling city with soaring skyscrapers and a dynamic metropolis life.
