Day 1: Made it to Toronto!

We are writing from our hotel in Toronto. It was a longer drive today than we expected with at least a 30 minute stop at the border, but thankfully the border patrol did not ask to search our excessively packed car!

Once we crossed the border, we searched for a rest area but only found a lovely truck stop. So, we had a nice family picnic surrounded by semis.

We only had a little bit of time to walk around the city once we made it to Toronto's city center. We walked aimlessly since we didn't really have much of a plan for today.

However, we very purposely ate dinner at a restaurant that Nick was dying to eat at called "Hey, Meatball" on College street. It was a pretty cool, hip neighborhood...Levi enjoyed the sites.

Poor Levi only had an hour nap in the car today and then we didn't get him to bed until 9pm tonight. He's currently sleeping soundly in the pack-n-play INSIDE our hotel bathroom:) Resourceful parenting.

Tomorrow we'll spend our morning exploring Toronto more and seeing the Hockey Hall of Fame (Nick's pick).

Here's just a few pictures of the day!
