Hello everyone x
While my boyfriend was away on his nearly month-long trip to Las Vegas, I was trying to come up with fun dates we could go on when he came back and I came across the idea of spending a day at the Toronto Islands. Originally I had planned that we would rent bikes and spend the day riding and relaxing on the beach but as always our day turned out quite different. We hopped on the go train to Toronto quite early and got some yummy breakfast. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture but we tried a place called Soup It Up and had an amazing clam chowder soup and roasted turkey sandwich.
After our breakfast we jumped on a ferry that delivered us at Centre Island. The view from the back of the boat pulling away from the harbour is absolutely amazing. I still get butterflies in my stomach that I get to call this my city.

We got off the ferry at Centre Island which has a little amusement park called Centreville that's very cute and old-timey.

Among Centre Island is a petting zoo which I just had too much fun with. I'm obsessed with animals. Can you blame me?

As you can see I was quite upset that I'm too tall to ride the ponies :'(

After Centreville we headed down to the beach and tried to fly a kite... we ultimately failed but it made for some laughs.

I bought this kite from Target for $2.99! I saw the minions and it was just meant to be <3 I'm obsessed.

The island is absolutely beautiful, I didn't even know something like this existed in the downtown Toronto area!

Along the bottom of the island there is a boardwalk/bike path so we took to that and found tons and tons of sailboats out on the water.

After our long adventure on the island we headed back to the mainland and stopped by St Louis Wings (which we always do in Toronto because the location on King Street has the most amazing wings EVER) and I snapped a picture of Ian that I'm absolutely chuffed with and have since made it my laptop background :)
