After only a couple of days in Port Hope, Quinn and I headed off to visit friends and family in Toronto and St. Thomas. Judith, Russell and Jacob were kind enough to put us up in the big city. Quinn had lots of toys to play with and we had great food and wonderful company. We packed in as much action as we could making a surprise stop at ICS where we were treated like celebrities, a visit with Mary-Kate, Dan and Bodhi at High Park, lunch with Rosa in Roncesvailles and a play in Trinity-Bellwoods park with Tita Jessie, Arabelle and their family. We were exhausted at the end of the day, but thrilled to have had such nice visits with people that are so important to us. Sunday we were off to St. Thomas for a lovely two days with Nanny McQuiggan -- more great food, more great company, and even a rollicking game of cards that lasted well into the evening. Finally, we were back on the 401 headed back to Port Hope where Quinn would settle in for the rest of our trip while I took a couple of "adult" days back in Toronto. Rosa and I caught up over sushi and pedicures and I watched my grade six students in a very memorable graduation ceremony at ICS. It was an amazing visit to Canada and we are looking forward to more family and more fun when we return with Morgan and Jim in July.
