Downtown Adventures With Good Weather = A Great Day

I had a fabulous day yesterday, and the weather was fabulous too! My boyfriend took the day off from school because his brain was going to explode (from knowledge... not from some sort of medical emergency) and we went downtown to get him a pair of sunglasses he's been eyeing since the summer. After that we got some lunch at the new Poutinerie and Burrito Boys and boy did we feel disgusting after. Not that the food tasted bad, it was far from it, actually... but it's definitely not the healthiest stuff out there! So we walked around for a bit and made our way to the skydome and CN Tower, and the bf took some pictures with our awesome new camera. While we were there I pointed out the Steam Whistle Brewery which we had both never been to, and since we had some time to spare we decided to go and take a tour.
It was AWESOME!! We walked in the doors and they were like "do you want a sample?" and then poured us a half-pint of beer. And then handed us a ticket for a free sample. A tour was starting just as we got there so we tagged along and after the tour, we got another free sample of beer. Without giving in our ticket that we were given before, so now we've got 2 free sample tickets and totally plan on going back to take advantage of those!
It was really nice just to spend time together without thinking about external things. This past week has been kinda rough between his insane schedule of tests and labs at school and me being sick and still not having a job, so it was nice to forget about all that and just hang out.

Tonight we're hosting a bbq and we're having a few friends over for food and drinks. We've got a pork tenderloin all rubbed up and I've finished a pasta salad, so it's just a few appetizers to go and we'll be all set!
