I was actually able to get a bit of sleep on the flight which was awesome - I normally have a very hard time sleeping on a plane.
I woke up to the sun shining in the window across the aisle as we were getting ready to descend into Toronto.
The clouds looked just gorgeous.
Amongst the clouds.
We made it!
It was 6:30 am Toronto time when we landed.
I was feeling not too bad at this point - but we were hoping there was a chance that we might be able to check into our room early.
The big city - I'm looking forward to another adventure here.
We took the train into downtown Toronto from the airport.
We both fell asleep and nearly missed our stop - I woke up and everyone had gotten off the train.
Another minute and we'd have been on our way back to the airport.
We walked straight to our hotel to check in, they did not have any rooms available but said they would call us if they got one.
Jason's phone was just about dead so we went to the second floor of the hotel where the conference rooms were and found a plug in to charge Jason's phone and just sat on a couch there while it charged a bit.
I think I fell asleep briefly - I was feeling quite tired by this point.
We sat there maybe for an hour at the most then decided to go for a walk and find a coffee and some breakfast.
We passed a little bakery so I had to pop in and have a look.
They had these pistachio cheesecake bites that looked scrumptious so Jason & I shared one.
It was fantastic - I mean it's pistachio and cheesecake - two of my favorite things, how can you go wrong?
Then we found this spot with really good reviews to go and have some breakfast.
George Street Diner.
I looked like a true greasy spoon diner inside - I loved it.
I just got this breakfast plate that had eggs, bacon, fries, beans, grilled tomato and their specialty Irish soda bread.
The bacon and eggs had kind of a fishy taste like they'd cooked it on the same grill as fish and it was off-putting.
The soda bread was so fantastic though - I just loved it.
From there we decided to walk over to the Eaton Center.
We just did some looking around, didn't really buy anything, except some very expensive chocolate from a chocolate store.
It had a pistachio cream filling so I just had to try it.
I was too full to have it just now but I'll try it later at the hotel.
We ended up getting a call around 1 that they had a room ready for us so we went back to the hotel, got settled into our room and then had a nap for an hour or so.
When we got up, we got ready to head out for a run/walk.
Jason was going to run 10k, I was going to just going to do a walk/run combo.
Passed this super cute statue.
Heading down to the water front for our run.
I passed this tree and the sun was shining through it - it looked so pretty.
The views here are so pretty.
There's the CN tower.
I met up with Jason when he finished his
10k.
These are the stats from my run/walk.
I mainly ran but I did do a bit of walking here and there as well.
I was quite proud of myself.
Heading back to our room to clean up and get ready for supper.
Some pictures of our room - this is the bedroom.
The pass through to the bathroom - the sinks were in a room on their own with a huge closet then the bathroom and the shower were in a room off of that.
The desk area.
It would be a nice spot to sit and work if you needed too.
The view our our window.
We were right on the corner and there was always lots going on.
We were on the 8th floor so we could see the people down below and we enjoyed quite a bit of people watching.
We went to this pasta place that we came to last time we were in Toronto and loved, Scaddabush.
I'm not a huge pasta person but I loved the pasta we had here.
I really like this light fixture.
It's quite a big restaurant and it always seems to be busy.
My Honey.
Moi.
We had this 3 Cheese Truffle Charity Bread that we shared.
I love bread of any kind.
Then I had the Roasted Mushroom & Truffle Gnocchi.
So so good.
Jason had the Lemon Garlic Shrimp Spaghetti which is what I had last time we were here.
Also amazingly delicious.
If I lived nearby I would come back here and try every single thing on their menu.
When we walked down to the waterfront earlier to go for our walk, we noticed on a billboard of a venue that the comedian Nikki Glaser is here this weekend so when we got back to the hotel, we checked Ticketmaster for tickets and found some so we will go see her on Saturday night.
While I was doing a little scrolling on the internet - I saw that Sesame Street Live is coming to Edmonton.
That would be fun to take Eden to.
Saw this too and it made me giggle.
We did A LOT of walking today and by the time we went to bed, I was zonked and fell asleep immediately which was awesome.
That's all for today, until next time, be happy!
