Canada, Eh?

Hi lovelies! Currently blogging from Toronto. Canada is a cold cold cold place but I'm excited that we are out of the country. This is our first time leaving the US since we got married and Adam became a permanent US resident. We were excited that we went through customs and border control... But the real fun will be seeing how easy it is to get back in the US. :)

Our flight connected us in Chicago O'Hare where we had one of these:


Caramel covered apple with chocolate chips... Yum! How can you resist?

Then we landed, checked into our hotel downtown and went straight to a meeting because we had a press piece for CityTV. Adam was filmed giving his top 5 tips for dating.


It's always nice to get some press when we go to a different city. I believe Adam will be on one of the big morning radio stations on Monday, so if you're in Toronto tune in to 99.9 FM this Monday, January 31 at 6 am to catch it!

We started our workshop Friday night beginning with seminar and then going to a bar for some infield practice. At that point we had to go to an ATM to pull out cash for cabs and whatnot. So I went to get money and was pleasantly surprised when it was colored!


I forgot that the Canadian dollar isn't the same as the American dollar. They have Monopoly money! The exchange rate is currently 1.02, which means that I am gaining money, not losing money. 2 cents richer with each dollar spent! I'll take it.

Right now we are done with our Saturday seminar and resting before we go back out with our students tonight. Adam is taking a brief nap and I am enjoying the view of the beautiful CN Tower which is where we're going to go for a date night tomorrow when we're all done with work.


I believe the restaurant at the top rotates. I've been to the Reunion Tower in Dallas that has a rotating restaurant and it was gorgeous so I hope this is similar. :)

Lastly, since I'm in a different country you KNOW we have to check out the local cuisines. Currently we have had poutine, which is just a Canadian dish of fries smothered in gravy, melted cheese curds and more gravy on the side. And since I judge cities based on their sweets that means I had to try out a basic chocolate bar.


Not bad! Doesn't beat out Lindt, which to me is the best basic milk chocolate bar ever, but it was good. And the nail polish is Deborah Lippmann's Walking in Vegas, which I think is the perfect greige, in case you're interested. I have been on a greige hunt for forever!

That's our weekend so far! Blame Canada!

p.s. I posted this whole thing using my iPad! I finally figured out how to insert pictures so you can expect more on-the-road posts.
