Friday Food – Vacation! Dateline: Canada

Standard

One of the best things about being on vacation is trying new foods or enjoying old favorites. We try to avoid chain and fast food restaurants, although we do like to see the different options available in other places at McDonald’s, Starbucks, and the like.

My daughter found a place a couple of years ago that is her go-to place when we are in Toronto. It has an extraordinary pop culture/fandom decor and menu, and the food is great! I’ll have a separate post and review of that one next week.

3 Days Late – National Photography Day

Standard

I didn’t want to let this one day go by without sharing some of my photographs from our Canada holiday. When we travel, we may have different objectives.
