House Swap!

Our wedding invitation arrived at our home several weeks ago and we were excited to take the road trip down to see the nuptials. Knowing that our favourite Toronto B&B (aka Great-Grandpa's!) would be full with Isabelle and Oliver's grandparents, we sought out another option close to downtown. Little did we know how well it would work out. We found out that our friends Alli and Sean were coming up to Ottawa for Thanksgiving and we were headed in the opposite direction. Light bulb! House swap! In a complete fluke, the wedding ended up being at a church literally 3 blocks away from our weekend home, amazing! We were also perfectly situated to check out the Danforth in Toronto, a beautiful mix of shops of restaurants of a multicultural nature, mst notable Greek. We had a great time checking out the local shops, where we scored Isabelle's new coat, and partaking in a neighbourhood institution, the Square Boy for some super souvlaki. So thanks to Alli and Sean for allowing us to stay in your house. The kids really enjoyed exploring a home away from home, although Isabelle was very inquisitive about what was happening at our house. "Is someone going to be sleeping in my bed?"
