Canada Round Two

Although the majority of the time spent in Canada was filled with cold, rainy weather, we still had an amazing time visiting everyone that we missed!

We started the vacation out right with a trip to see our Toronto Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre!  We had a great time with Dave and Arielle, and also enjoying what would come to be the warmest day of the entire break!  Go Jays Go!


We celebrated Easter with my family by eating at East Side Marios for Easter Dinner!  East Side Marios is one of the restaurants that Andee and I missed terribly, and so getting to enjoy it with family was just great!


We celebrated "Greek Easter" with Andee's family at Leo and Lisa's house.  We attempted to try every different kind of the mountains of delicious food that was prepared for everyone, and had a great time with everyone in attendance!


As well as continuing the trend of eating McDonald's straight from the airport, Andee and I also managed to eat at almost every fast food and sit down restaurant that we had been craving, which resulted in at least one meal a day (sometimes two) of delicious, Canadian style restaurants!  Call it disgusting, fat, ridiculous, or delicious, but it had to be done!


One of the highlights of our vacation was watching our friend Dave perform in both a choir and as part of a band!  He is the best ever, and his amazing voice, piano skillz, and saxophone jams are just amazing!  We were so happy to see him perform twice over the break, and hope to see him much perform much more in the future!


We celebrated my Grandma's 80th birthday by having our extended family enjoy a buffet brunch at the Mandarin, followed by some tea and snacks at my Auntie Anne's house.  It was great to see everyone that we hadn't seen in months, as well as meet a new addition to the family, Makenna Compton!


We also celebrated Makayla's 2nd birthday/Mothers Day with more extended family, and I was able to meet yet another new addition to the family, Zoey Caesar!  It was one of the few sunny days we had in good ol' Canada, and we certainly enjoyed it!


And, just for your enjoyment, a few more fun photos taken during our Canadian vacation!


Overall, we had a great time enjoying the company of our family, friends, and All-Canadian activities that were lacking on our little Island of St. Kitts.  Speaking of St. Kitts, we are quite enjoying the beautiful sunny and warm weather that accompanies our Island lifestyle.  With more than half of our St. Kitts journey finished, Island enjoyment is more crucial then ever!  Better head to the beach!!
