You know that song, Under the Boardwalk? It’s been in my head for what feels like forever. I’m going to have to sing some Ricky Martin or something to get rid of it soon.
Anyways. I haven’t been under any boardwalks recently, which is a shame. But I did go wandering in the Beaches in Toronto recently. I had never visited that area of the city before. It was weird but wonderful, discovering a new part of a city I thought I knew pretty well. I love playing tourist anywhere though so I was happy.
I went with my family to an artist showcase, where all these artists had displays in their own homes. Kind of like a craft show, but you got to walk to different houses instead of booths. It was a lot of fun walking to the different houses and checking out painting and sculptures. I must admit, I liked looking at the different homes more than looking at the art. Seriously though, these houses were beautiful. Lots of big windows, lovely wooden floors, excellent use of light.
Clearly I’ve been exposed to too much HGTV lately.
In between art stops, we wound up in a cupcake shop that was adorable. They sold these cute oversized coffee mugs that were just over 3 bucks – obviously I had to buy one, and my sister bought one too. We walked in right before they closed up and bought coffee and a cupcake in exchange for using their, um, facilities. They were so friendly that they gave us leftover cookies!
It was a sweet ending to the day.
(See what I did there?! This blog is in serious want of more puns.)
