Hitting the road!!
After packing and preparing for our trip for most of the day and driving for the entire afternoon and into the evening we finally made it to the big smoke TORONTO!! It was snowing and freezing cold, we quickly checked into our rooms and broke open the bubbly and turned on the countdown on the telly. Pretty tame New Years Eve but I guess when you have two little ones and it is freezing cold out then that is the best we could do. At least that way most of us were not hung over in the morning. We spent the next day exploring a rather quiet Toronto inner city with most shops being closed due to it being New Years Day and those that were open were very quiet as it was very cold and snowy outside and not many people were not crazy enough to be out walking around the streets. All in all a quiet evening and New Years Day.

The day after New Years Day we headed back out onto the streets and headed to Eggspectations for brekky, a neat little restaurant that specialises in eggs (as you may have guessed) they basically do eggs anyway you can imagine them and they serve the whole menu all day!
Cheers! Here's to BIG lattes. Check out little Miss Emmy there with her eyes on the foam.....
We ordered our lattes BIG (and Dave got his black coffee - the server, seeing Dave's disappointment, even apologised to Dave for the size difference and assured him that his coffee was bottomless......)
Always with her eyes on the foam Emmy worked her way round the table under the guise of needing an "Aunty Mandy cuddle"
After a yummy and filling brunch we hit the streets again and taking rides on the subway and the streetcars (trams) to make our way round to the CN Tower.
Street Car. It was exciting and challenging getting on and off essentially in the middle of traffic with a pram!
Dave and Mandy posing with a model of the CN Tower whilst we were in line to actually make our way up to the top.
Me, Brad and Riley doing the same, Emily was happily sleeping in her pram at the time.
Riley standing on the glass bottom floor very very high up in the tower (ok so I didn't listen to just how high up we were.......). Was fun to look down at the sreet below. So many people were so nervous stepping out on the glass was funny to watch.
The view from the top of the tower in two different directions.
BIG thanks again to Mandy as all bar one of these pics are hers (oh and yes there is one that Dave took too...... guess which one??? YEP the one showing his little coffee LOL!!)
