Hello Calgary! I’m so happy to be back home after a week-long vacation to Ontario to visit the bf’s family and friends. We had an awesome time taking in all the sights and sounds at many locations around the city, countryside, lakes, beach and more. It’s amazing how much is packed into Southern Ontario and we saw a lot of it during our trip.

I hope to get to a longer feature in the future, but in the meantime, here’s a round-up of photos via my Instagram. Enjoy!

 

This morning’s view during breakfast. It’s fun to people watch as the golfers drive by. #Ontario #riverbend #14thhole #golf #green #grass #summer

Yep, that’s a golf course the in-laws live on. It was a hot and humid trip so taking refuge in the shade was a must.

Everything’s so lush and green in London, ON. #summer #green #flowers #Ontario A photo posted by ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Irene Seto (@heyseto) on Jul 30, 2015 at 11:37am PDT

With all that humidity comes some beautiful scenery in Ontario. This is outside Budweiser Gardens arena in London.

 Heading outside of the city is some beautiful farmland and many windmills all around.

 Toronto has some amazing vintage stores full of treasures waiting to be found.

I like interesting signs in random places. This is in the Toronto subway #ossington #transit #ttc #yyz A photo posted by ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Irene Seto (@heyseto) on Aug 2, 2015 at 9:55am PDT

We spent a lot of time in the TTC subway and I found this sign to be odd and interesting. Makes me wonder who else has noticed it.

More beach time at Ward Island #sun #sand #lakeontario #water #boat #summer

 A ferry ride took us over to the islands for some more beach time sun and fun.

The ferry ride back gave me the chance to take this amazing picture of Toronto’s cityscape. Look at all those buildings! The CN Tower is to Toronto like the Calgary Tower is to us here in yyc.

No Toronto trip is complete without a visit to Sushi on #Bloor. #yyz #food #japanese #fish #seafood #salmon #tuna #sashimi #rolls #maki

 Seriously. One of my fave restos in TO. I have to come here every time.

My very first Blue Jays game and they kicked ass. Go Jays Go!
