Another Adventure

Well, we Woods had another wonderful adventure this week....we spent the day in Stratford!! Lunch, then watched "My One and Only" starring Cynthia Dale - it was so fun and FUNNY. The music was incredible of course (have you ever heard of the Gershwins????), the dancing was phenomenal and the story was fully enjoyable.

Post-show we walked and watched people and places, went in and out of the shops, met a Brazilian and a few Spaniards, drank a bunch of coffee and hot beverages, and just relaxed.


Oh....and Sean became re-acquainted with his Scottish roots!!

As we were heading out of town, we passed by the coolest concept...a restaurant, in an old church...so we stopped and went in for a leisurely 3-hour fabulous dinner in an incredible space. The food was delicious, our server was terrific and the ambiance was second to none....so if you are heading to Stratford anytime soon, make time to enjoy "The Church" for dinner. You won't be disappointed!

Toronto Tourists for the Day

As we prepare for our time apart as Carla ventures off to San Diego for her sabbatical (if this is news to you, stop reading and quickly visit www.carlaincali.blogspot.com, then come on back!), we have tried to plan some special "Sean and Carla Dates" to optimize our time together. We are eagerly planning for our upcoming adventure, but also intensely focused on loving one another more deeply than ever!!

So here was Day One of Summer 2007 Special Dates for us....Carla had massage and acupuncture for her whiplash (the acupuncture allows for a day of reduced pain fun, but don't worry, she is on the mend!), and Sean relaxed at home. We discovered Sean lost his wallet, so that took up a few hours of our day....arrrgh - fortunately no one used any of the cards!! Then our date began - a brief stroll downtown Oakville, and then into Toronto to the CN Tower for an early dinner at the 360 Restaurant. It was a wonderful 3 course dinner (all gluten free), with an excellent Cave Springs (Niagara region) Wine, with a perfectly clear day that allowed us to see the Molson Indy, the open SkyDome (I mean, Rogers Centre), as well as Uptown, Downtown and Center Island. Our server Stephen was great!! How wonderful to enjoy our city and sit face to face, enjoying conversation with the one you love.



We rushed off from dinner down the CN Tower in just over 2 minutes (amazing), and went to our super-terrific 200 level seats for the Toronto vs. Cleveland game. The game was exciting the whole way through - good pitching, great hitting, and excellent outfield play....more fun to be had....and Sean was good enough to let Carla snap a few pictures of him, the baseball fan, while he watched the game - WHAT A CUTIE!!




We hope you enjoyed sharing in our Toronto Tourist date - we sure loved the experience. What a great city we live in!! (p.s. The Jays won...8 to 6...YAY)
