Stratford weekend

Mark and I were fortunate to get another weekend away this past weekend, this time to Stratford, Ontario. Every year, Mark's company has a dinner and theatre night; this year we had dinner at The Parlour and went to see Fiddler on the Roof at the Festival Theatre. It was amazing.

Usually dinner and the show are on the same night, but our plans were changed up a bit when we couldn't find Fiddler tickets for Saturday. It was a bit of a blessing however because we were able to enjoy our dinner instead of being rushed out to catch the show. Fiddler wasn't playing until the next day at 2pm so we were able to sleep in (Ok we slept until 8am, but that was sleeping in for us!), have breakfast and wander around town before the show. It a cold weekend, but nice nonetheless and it was so nice to get away once again.

Have you seen Fiddler on the Roof? What did you think? I have been apparently living under a rock because although I knew the name, I didn't know anything about the story.

saturday adventure: walk by the water

Saturday we decided to go for a little walk by the water and we ventured off to a new part of the lakeshore trail in Port Credit we've never been before. We parked on a dead-end street and walked right into the woods (how great would it be to live right beside the woods, but still in the city?!)

Right in the middle of our walk were a few houses with what seemed like no road access. Very private!

What did you do this weekend?

weekend fun: blue rodeo and romancing the rails

Hey there - hope you had a nice weekend! As I mentioned Friday, Friday night we went to see Blue Rodeo. It was a fantastic show and so nice to get out just the two of us.

Saturday afternoon we took Leo and Mila to see a model train show in Liberty Village here in Toronto called The Romance of the Rails put on by The Model Railroad Club of Toronto.  He loved it! It was amazing to see all of the work and finite attention to detail that has gone into making this village. Apparently there are 5000 feet of track - unreal!

If you or your little ones are interested in going, the show is open for a few more weekends before everything is moved to a new location. Check out the site for more info.

Happy Monday!
