ZOMG! I Can Hardly Handle The Excitement!

Posted on October 15th, 2007 in Are You Gonna Eat That?, Does All Her Own Stunts, Made In Ontario

Only 2 more sleeps until V arrives! I get to spend 5 WHOLE DAYS WITH HER! Can you tell that I am really pumped?

On Thursday I am taking her out to wine country for the day. We’re going to do some sight-seeing and shopping in Niagara On The Lake, and then I’m taking her to a food and wine tasting at one of the local wineries. We’re going to tour around some more after that and perhaps have some more wines at home later in the evening. I picked up a lovely Riesling and a Cabernet Franc Rosé last week in preparation for her visit. I’m making up a grocery list for tomorrow so that she and Jack and I can enjoy some yummy tapas with our wine that evening. I’m thinking a little baked Camembert and some brushetta with toasted baguette.

Friday we are heading in to The Sex Show early. We decided to go on Friday, rather than Saturday, because weekends are always insane and it can be difficult to look at stuff with some many people around. We plan to spend most of the day there, browsing all of the exhibitors and checking out the stage shows. After the show I plan to take V out to one of the restaurants participating in East End Eats Out. Basically restaurants offer up a limited menu, including some of their favorite dishes, for a flat fee (generally $25-$40 for three courses). We have reservations at Batifole, which the critics have been raving about recently. I can’t wait to try it!

After supper we are planning to go for cocktails somewhere. I’m still working on a game plan for that. Perhaps my readers familiar with Toronto can suggest some clubs/bars in the downtown area that we might enjoy?

Saturday we are heading to Yonge Street for shopping and sight-seeing. I want to take her to St. Lawrence Market and Eaton’s Center. Jack is going to meet us for supper somewhere (we found a sitter and I want to see how the kids manage under her care for a few hours) and after that we are checking into our hotel and getting ready for an evening out. We decided it would be wise to get a room somewhere near to downtown so that we wouldn’t have to worry about taking a cab all the way home.

Has anyone been to Fluid Lounge? Any others you might recommend? We have no idea, but I’ve been checking out club reviews all night.

Sunday we’ll drag our tired asses back home and spend the day vegging out with Jack and the kids. Maybe we’ll rent some movies and cuddle up on the couch all day. Monday we might take the kids to the pool and just generally spend family time together. Lots of rest and relaxation for the last two days she is here, since clearly I intend to wear her out for the first part of her visit.

She heads home Monday night and then I won’t see her again until New Year’s Eve, so I am planning to make the most of this weekend.

Really, REALLY excited!!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend
