After a good night's sleep we woke up full of vim and vigour and ready to explore the city. Given the very "March-like" (read gross) weather outside, we decided it would be better to stay indoors.
Guess where we ended up...
The CN Tower, one of the world's tallest buildings?
The Toronto Zoo, full of ferocious beasts from the four corners of the globe?
The Air Canada Centre, to see a hockey game or a concert?
Of course not! I'm with a baby! Geez!
No, we went to the very safe and friendly Bata Shoe Museum where I got to learn about shoes and socks from the past to the present.
Haha actually it was a really interesting museum although suprisingly expensive ($14 Cdn???!)
We saw lots of shoes and socks from famous people from Queen Victoria to Nelly Furtado to Doogie Howser. No, that's a lie. We didn't see Doogie Howser's shoes but he has the right spirit. We did see, however, a pair of Napoleon's socks!
Good times although mommy was missed. Margot told me she is hoping for a present when she gets home. Of what? SHOES of course!
Hello Simon and happy to read some exciting adventure from your lovely country (and sorry I took that much time to be one of your followers).
ReplyDeleteThis museum sounds great for kids, seeing how much they love to play with all the shoes they can find :)
See you then on your blog and enjoy your parental leave, lucky man (or is that so ?)

More museums, Margot is going to be one cultured little girl :)
ReplyDeleteIs Margot wearing the same clothes or/and socks than the previous day?
ReplyDeleteOf course not! (I think I'm going to get in trouble when I get back to Ottawa).
ReplyDeleteNot to worry Jen, Simon was pretty good about not letting Margot stay in grubby clothes for long :) Although I helped a bit with keeping her nose clean ;)
