Family Time
Wednesday, August 20th, 2008I’m finding that if I leave Niagara on my days off, I tend to relax more, as I’m in a different environment. I also seem to be happier when I return. This last week I decided to go to Toronto for my days off. I’ve always loved the city and hitching a ride up with Moose Travels or Magic Bus is not only easy, but free for the staff at the hostel. Even my bunkbed at the HI Toronto was free, so I couldn’t really beat the price! haha
My original plan was to roam around the city and take photographs. I spent the first night on Yonge St and then ran into some guest who had stayed at the hostel in Niagara so I went to Scotland Yard with them for a bit before returning to my squeaky top bunk at the hostel.
The following morning I started to roam through the city, but made a last minute decision to take a bus to Newmarket and spend the day with my sister-in-law and my very cute 6 mth old niece, Ila. It was a great day. We had fun shopping and running errands. The last time I saw Ila she was just 2 weeks old, so naturally she has grown quite a bit. She’s such a happy, smiley little girl. I couldn’t get enough of her. It was the best way to spend my day off.
