Bon morning mes amis.
I hope that everyone enjoyed their Saturday night.
Yesterday was a big day. We wrote live from breakfast on King St. and then started the rest of the day.
There was comic book shopping at the Silver Snail on Queen. Followed by Toronto Blue Jays baseball at Rogers Centre. It was the first big league game for both Jake and Romeo and the game did not disappoint. Rookie right hander Robert Ray pitched 8 very strong innings giving up only 1 unearned run in the first inning. And the Blue Jay bats finally came through in the bottom of the 8th inning to give Mr. Ray his first win in the majors.
We sat up in the 500's which I normally don't do, but it was a good time. We were in section 527, just on the third base side of home plate. For $11 there isn't a better 3 hour entertainment option in the city in my opinion.
After the game there was some walking and shopping and Romeo's very first street car ride. He survived after banging his elbow and making Peter Griffin noises.
Dinner of hamburgers, potato salad and Keiths was fantastic with Jake's friends from high school.
Side note: Their kid Ian was hilarious and his favourite toy is a lawn mower. His father is sure that will change once it becomes a real lawn mower he's supposed to push around.
After dinner was some more wandering, another comic book shop and then a brief stop at the hotel before Karoake at the Gladstone.
The room Melody Bar at the Gladstone had a good vibe and Jake, Romeo and I all rocked the house. And to end our long day we got up and sang together to a large round of applause before waving goodbye and heading back to the hotel.
Side note: The Stock Ale was cold, the waiter was more than happy to keep them coming. Thank you kind sir.
Sleep was lovely and most welcome.
This morning was breakfast repeat. Same restaurant, same waitress, different meal, new jokes, good times.
Road trip is now under way.
Not a long trip, be home tomorrow.
Like wham!
Happy long weekend Sunday.
