Toronto FC

Today we had a wonderfully lazy day. We got up at 9:30 am. 9:30AM!! Then Aidan and I went and worked out in the hotel gym--Aidan on the elliptical, me on the treadmill.

Jason and Leo went to the pool and we joined them after working out our arms!💪

Then we went downtown and walked around an area that looks like Time Square. Lots of billboards and people. Aidan told us he preferred the country!




Now we are at the Toronto FC game which Jason informed me is a much better stadium than RFK for soccer. It is a nice stadium and I'm cheating my diet by drinking a beer because really you can't go to a sporting event without drinking beer!



I have to say it...I think Toronto has traffic to rival DC and Seattle!

  1. what stadium are they using for toronto fc?

    i would take toronto over seattle any day (we're talking traffic here). at least there are several ways to get around toronto. seattle-not so much.

    really happy to hear that you are enjoying toronto, though. it's a pretty cool place.

    1. Toronto FC plays at BMO Stadium. Jason said they built the stadium just for soccer which is why it is so great to watch a game. He thinks it was built in 2008. In DC, we have to watch DC United play at an old football stadium so its not nearly as nice

      You're probably right about the traffic. There are several ways to get into the city and everyday we find a better way to get downtown. Yesterday, though it tooks us over an hour to get from Eaton Center in Dundas to the BMO field which is across from the Molson Canadian amphitheatre on Lake Shore Drive.

      TFC won yesterday its their third win of the season which was kind of a big deal because they played the Vancouver White Caps. They won 3-2. The last TFC goal was scored as the last play of the game!
