What a weekend... Darrin and I have been in Toronto since Friday afternoon. Friday night, Darrin and I had a FANTASTIC dinner at Mistura. Mossimo (that appears regularly on the food network) is the head chef/co-owner of Mistura. Darrin and I have been wanting to visit this restaurant for months and thought since we were already in Toronto for the weekend this would be the perfect opportunity. We thoroughly every course we ate! I had CARCIOFI FRITTI for an appetizer and it was very tasty. We'll be going back there in the future!
A night to remember...We were staying at the Delta Chelsea Hotel for a family function being held on Saturday. The hotel was OK, the food was a little overpriced but it was located right downtown which was a 10 minute walk to the church we had to go to on Saturday. After a little bit of shopping down Yonge street Saturday morning..Darrin and I got ready for the festivities...his Aunt and Uncle were renewing their wedding vows after 45 years of marriage and many true "Robinsons" were in attendance. Many flew in from Dublin Ireland, New york and quite a few of us travelled from around the GTA & Southern Ontario for the celebration. The ceremony was very nice and the reception was fantastic. The Irish sure do know how to throw a PARTY!!! 
It was quite the night!! Lots of singing, dancing, eating, drinking and celebrating. The last time Darrin and I saw a few members of his family was a few years back at another wedding. However, this celebration was a true "Robinson" event--with almost the whole family attending. Many relatives that were in attendance this weekend Darrin hasn't seen since he was a little boy, 20-30 years ago, it was heartwarming to hear many stories from his childhood and meet his family--I was snapping my camera all night to capture all the special moments. Its always soo nice to see everyone and meet new people--there are only a few more to meet then I can officially say...i've met everyone!! It was a night to remember....well at least for the people that didn't have too much to drink, lol....but lots and lots of pics were being taken to remind everyone of this special weekend.
Darrin and I would like to wish everyone a safe trip home and we look forward to seeing everyone again in the future, next time we'll be the ones travelling!!
I brought Rio to her hotel on Friday and I'll pick her up tomorrow after the gym. She was excited to get in the car and go to the hotel on Friday morning. I can't wait to pick her up tomorrow afternoon, I miss her :(
I think i need to go and take a nap after a weekend of celebrating..my body can't handle that much excitement all in one weekend..lol...

It was an adults only event. There was quite a bit of drinking at the event and almost no one under the age of majority was there...I think everyone can understand why..lol..the only 2 (very young) children that were there(only because babysitters were unavailable) went off to bed very early before the real drinking started.
I took lots of pictures (and have some for him of the relatives)and we have lots of stories to tell him when he comes here for a visit.
Darrin was very proud of his son and filled everyone in on how he is doing and how he's becoming quite the young man:):)
LA:)
