O, Pan-ada!

I know I said on Tuesday that I would post on Saturday, but I'm pulling a Jenna Marbles. Sometimes the post just doesn't get finished until the next day.

With only 7 weeks left in Michigan, Corey and I have a sort of Michigan Bucket List going. At the top of the list is a trip to Canada. It's literally 45 minutes away, we've been so close that we could shout and be heard there (Joe Louis Arena), but we've yet to actually cross the border.

Additionally, I found out a few weeks ago that the Toronto Zoo received two giant pandas, and they will be ready for visitors on May 18. For those of you that don't know, I'm obsessed pandas. When Xiao Liwu was born at the San Diego Zoo last year, I was glued to their Panda Cam for days. When I read about the Toronto Zoo pandas, I freaked out. Toronto is about a five-hour drive from Ann Arbor. Much closer than San Diego :)

I'd been bugging Corey about it for weeks, and finally last night we booked two nights in Toronto over Memorial Day weekend. We're staying at a cute B&B in downtown Toronto, and we're going to see the pandas!

So this Memorial Day weekend, I will be checking off two I've-nevers: a Canadian visit, and a panda viewing. If you've ever been to Toronto or Canada in general, what else shouldn't I miss while I'm there? Let me know in the comments!

Happy Mother's Day,

Lauren
