A Quick Toronto Vacation

Well it was a fast three days but we got alot done! It was up early and off to bed late for the entire trip. Our goals were to visit four Universities for my daughter as she is deciding where to apply in the fall, to see Bon Jovi at the Rogers Center, and to see the musical "Rock of Ages".

All three goals were met! We had a great time as we visited the universities. Brittany is considering Pharmacy as a graduate degree so we focused on places with strong life sciences programs for her undergrad degree. We went to University of Toronto, University of Waterloo, Guelph University, and Ryerson (just because we were close to it). I think she was impressed by Waterloo the most but she also liked U of T. I thought it was interesting that they sold t-shirts for fathers with "Bank of Dad" on them, not a good first impression of these places!!!


We also got a chance to see a Bon Jovi concert and a theatre show. The concert was good as they played for a long time. The entertainment highlight was definitely the "Rock of Ages" theatre show we saw. It was really funny and I would recommend it to anyone who likes 80s rock music. We were even lucky enough to have a conversation with David Bryan, Bon Jovi's keyboard player, who was at the show as well. This was alot of fun for Brandon!!!



The bad news..... I did not get any training in and I only have a few weeks before my Duathlon!!!!
