Birthday and Canada Day Adventures

This blog will be heavy on pictures, cause that's what holidays are about sometimes!

My wife, Rose got her birthday gift in January, but it was tickets for a concert in JUNE!  She had to wait a long time to finally cash in!

We were going to see Canadian singer Michael Buble in Toronto, June 29th, so we made a day of it!

Our first stop was in Wasaga Beach where we took in the scenery and had an ice cream!  We dipped our toes in the waters of Georgian Bay before heading to Toronto!

On our way to Wasaga, we came across a weird tree with shoes tossed in it!  Very odd!  Does anyone know the history of this thing?

Creepy Shoe Tree

Can I find you anything sir?

The Tree of Soles!  Ha!

We then made a bee line to Casa Loma, a place Rose loves!  It was a hot day and I would advise if you visit to be aware that there is no air conditioning!  We were even serenaded with some opera!  VIDEO HERE.

Casa Loma has been in tons of movies!

The outdoor grounds are just as amazing!

The view from the terrace.

Now it's even more beautiful!

Just one of the rooms!

A many type room!

Gorgeous place!

 After the tour we wanted to eat at a place featured on the Food Network Show "You Gotta Eat Here".  We settled on a place called Rock Lobster on Ossington Ave.  It was OK but I should have ordered what I wanted, the mac and cheese, instead of a full lobster, oh well, next time!

Behind me is a fresh seafood bar.  Oysters and such.

After the meal it was off to the downtown to park and then get into the Air Canada Center!

Buble on the big screen!

The day has finally come!

Michael Buble is one of Rose's favorite singers along with Diana Krall.  They are both Canadians which is extra cool!  He put on a great show (aside from some potty mouth! LOL) and it was very enjoyable!  (I posted a couple videos, HERE and HERE, if you are interested.

Buble in concert!

I got all of 4 hours sleep that night before my morning show at LIFE 100.3!  I woke up at 4am and went in to do a solo show as my co-host, Tim Maassarany is off for the week! I also had to do some interviews, and voice track for Canada Day!  Don't ask me how I did it, I just thank God!

After a good sleep-in on Canada Day, it was off to do some geocaching!  Even though Rose was still a bit tired, she came along!  Thanks hun!

We mangaed to get in three finds!

Find one.

Find two...

...and find three!

All in all, a busy few days but very happy ones!

Happy Canada Day everyone!
