Since there was a bit of interest in having one I figured it could stand to have its own topic.  I don't live in Toronto so I have no idea as to what we could do but I'm figuring the plan is to spend a day there, during the week? 

Anyways, I'd be down for that, as would Mamamack.  So, suggest away. 

Suggestions:
Toronto Island
ROM

I would prefer a weekday, if we do this in May; my weekends are booked up through the end of June. I've been up to the CN Tower (expensive + heart-stopping fright), and I've been to a couple of the malls. I wouldn't mind the ROM, or other fun places to go stare at things while in the presence of adults. Or we could just hang out somewhere; either way, it doesn't bother me. I don't know much about Toronto and it's fun times, so I'm at the mercy of others who are more knowledgeable in that regard.

ROM would be good on a Tuesday, but otherwise it's dayum expensive.

Center Island sounds like fun but we shold check the weather.

Or if you guys like dumplings I know a great dumpling place- we could meet for lunch and then figure out what to do after that. (it's 4.50 for twelve awesome dumplings. Seriously).

dx I can pick you up; it'll just be really freaking early in the morning. And, we'd have to leave Toronto between 6PM and 8PM in order to get the drive over and done with before I get tired.

And if we do plan for an island thing and the weather turns to shit, we need a plan B that won't break the bank.

Dundas and Spadina, just north of Dundas. It's called Dumpling House, it's the awesomest cheap dumpling house.

haha!

yeah, i'm definitely down for the island! mamamack is RIGHT. you have to line up for the ferries to take you to different places. you see the people going to the nude beach and you're like "OKAY LETS GO IN THE OTHER LINE" haah

centre island would probably be best since they have like.. STUFF there.

backup plan? i think i'm in on robbin a bank.
sometimes, you need to quote yourself to feel important.

Yeah, Dulcinea's idea for meeting somewhere to eat and then continuing on afterwards is probably our best bet.  That way we can have a plan B ready in case the weather sucks or something.  As for the ROM, I think it'd be fun to go but if it's too $$ then nevermind, heh.

Ok, so as for a day, let's pick Tuesday the 19th of May.  Does that work for everyone?

lets do a steam whistle tour! basically you sample beer and tour around the roundhouse. I havent done this myself but have seen this everytime ive gone to a jays game. dunno bout pricing though. or theres just the walk down the city. we could visit some neat buildings, the cn tower, aircanada centre, cbc building etc.

I do agree though that the best picnic place would be toronto island. rom is nice but the ontario science centre is better imo.

Oooh a good place is Casa Loma. its a castle, in toronto. seriously.

the only problem is tickets will come to about 20$ per person

oh god no not the ontario science center...i've lived in the area and my middle school/highschool made me go there way too much. there's nothing to do there.

lol Dulcinea, is it one of the chinatown stores? there's also a really good pho place there! idk if you guys would want to but if we go to that dumpling place kensington market is also right around the corner.

If this is on a weekday then I can't go since I work 9-5 Mon-Fri.  Sounds like fun though.
