Mexican Independence Day

Sue, the lad, and I all took the GO train down to Nathan Phillips Square on Saturday to attend the Mexican Independence Day celebration.

We'd love to tell you that we're big fans of Mexican political history, but we'd be much more honest by admitting that we went for the food.

There was live music and a great variety of snacks from some pretty authentic Mexican eateries around Toronto, (best booth by far - Rebozo's with their Cochinita Pibil, Adobo chicken, and beef with green sauce)

It was a brisk day but sunny, the first of the year that really required jackets and long pants.

We then took a trip over to the Eaton Center and then had a warming latte at Starbucks before grabbing the train back for Scarberia.

It was a little dose of city life to remind Mommy & Daddy of the days before Mr. Jackson, but this time with Mr. Jackson, making it that much better.

Between the mall's stock of costumes and the cool weather, we were reminded of Halloween, and we even started shopping for Halloween stuff for JT's upcoming second spooky day.

All in all, it felt like fall. (in a good way)
