Do all the things

It finally happened. @jenseamonster​ and I made it to Toronto! It was an amazing best friend trip. We ate vegan poutine, made Drake references and earned 30,000 steps on our Fitbits. Jen and I crammed an incredible amount of awesome into two nights and three days. So much awesome that we made it into a list.

Go to Canada and be Awesome check list (or all the ridiculously awesome and Canadian things we managed to do in one weekend): 

- Make Canadian friends who are loud, hilarious and amused by our antics

- Eat a classic Canadian dish, with a vegan twist - poutine. 

- Visit Jurassic Park and watch a Raptors game with a bunch of Canadians outside of a stadium - Walk 12 Miles (19.3 K) in shoes not meant for long distance walks - Visit an art museum and be impressed by tiny ships and giant elvis paintings - Buy Canadian yarn from a cute shop called Romni Wool

- Sing Drake songs. All the Drake songs.  - Visit the Distillery District - Visit China Town - Look for a missing chicken #whereswallce

Visiting my old college town of Mt. Pleasant, Michigan for a conference. Decided to hit up Mountain Town Brewery for soup, salad and (knitting) socks. Yummy food and booze. Sadly the patio was closed and it’s gorgeous outside. I suppose I’ll have to go on an adventure and find a place with outdoor seating for dessert.
