@jcboy,
Summer is the best time to be in Toronto. Festivals every week, great outdoor concerts, and the locals are out of town on weekends so the beach becomes semi-private
It's Canada's 150th anniversary so extra parties!
As a kid we went camping for three weeks every summer. One year driving east and the other summer driving north and west. A decade of Canadian camping. My parents really wanted me to learn about Canada. I'm glad they did.
I loved camping other than the time we had old-time fiddlers at the next campsite. Now I'd love it, as a 10 or 11 year old I just wanted to sleeeeeeeeep.
