JULY 5, 2008 - TORONTO

I woke up at 6 a.m., to clean our room at Ronald Mcdonald House and pack the rest of our things. Again we had to say good-bye to the wonderful parents I had spent a lot of time with at RMH and the friendly staff here all wishing us success in Toronto.
Mr. T's uncle & aunt came to pick us up at 11 a.m with Mr. T's sister of course. I wanted his sister to come along with us so she could see where we would be living for the next 3 months.
We managed to stuff 3 months of living in his trunk & of course I had to leave some books behind. It was a gorgeous day. I sat in back with my 2 grandkids and we enjoyed the long drive to Toronto. Half-way there we stopped at Denny's to eat & use the facilities. After 3 months at Cheo...it was so nice to see people & traffic everywhere.
Because we stopped several times along the way...we arrived about 7 p.m. and spent the night at the Westin Harbourfront Hotel in Toronto. What a beautiful hotel...right on the waterfront.
We had pizza and later took a walk along the Queen's Quay and watched the boats come and go....and later had ice cream cones. Along the boardwalk we saw mime's and vendors & musicians entertaining the crowds of people. The grandkids enjoyed it immensely as they never really spent much time in a city.
Everybody was hot & tired...after we took our shower....it didn't take us long to fall asleep in an air-conditioned hotel room. Tomorrow we get to see Toronto Sick Kids for the 1st time.
