The Sound of Music

Last Saturday we journeyed to Toronto to see The Sound of Music at the Royal Alexandra Theatre. On our way we stopped in Brampton for brunch with Jeannie, Carissa and Isabella.
We had a wonderful visit together as well as a good meal.

We left Brampton an hour before showtime - HUGE mistake. I cannot believe Toronto traffic!!!!!! The Gardiner Expressway was backed up to Kipling and we crawled along at about 20 kms/hour all the way to Spadina. How do you people tolerate that mess every day????????? I just cannot picture dealing with that kind of traffic day after day.

Luckily we found a parking spot right in front of the theatre, however, we were late and had to wait to be seated. At least they provide video footage for you to watch while you're waiting. We had awesome seats and soon were really into the story. At the end of the play, I looked over and caught Graham wiping away some tears. We both enjoyed the play more than we expected to - it was really very good.

Since Ryan, Deb and the kids were busy, we headed straight back to London to have dinner with some friends of ours and to "rescue" the dogs. It was a very busy but wonderful day spent with family, good friends and great entertainment.
