Long Weekend Living

My daughter went back to school Friday before last, after a week at home with some kind of childhood virus... As it marked the start of the May long weekend, work released me a couple of hours early - facilitating a pre-daycare-pick-up drink with Scott. Alas, the weather was drab, but nonetheless I was really in a mood to relax - so we went to the Park Hyatt Rooftop for an aperitif.


Cool Tonic Imported from India - and delicious edamame.
The Hyatt gives the best free snacks with drinks
!

No one hates the Chin Crystal more than I do, but here's a cool perspective on it.




If ever you visit TO, this really is a great spot to take in the view - especially on a clear day. I only wish we'd brought the real camera...

  1. You guys certainly maintain a cool, sophisticated urban life, even as parents. I admire that.

  2. Free edamame as a bar snack? I'm moving to Toronto right now.

  3. Are those baby potatoes?
    And, I totally agree with ENC. You two are uber-cool.

  5. God forgive me but I have been secretly hoping for a 4 day week in the downturn. So Mr H and I can have one day a week where children are in custody of eductors and we can have daytime drinkies and afternoon delight.

    You and Scott are way cool.

  8. E: THANK YOU so much for thinking that! I love that someone thinks that! I'm trying to keep the fun in the working / parenting / living scenario. It's getting easier.

    Sal: Seriously, that's the only place I've seen it. Oh, but at the Art Gallery, though they charge you 15 bucks for a glass of wine, they give the best curried/brown sugar fancy nut mix. And they keep it coming!

    Bel: I share my thanks with you too!! Those are not potatoes, there were almonds, edamame and olive mixture. Potatoes would be so cute and tasty, though.

    Wendy: I laughed reading your comment. Of course, glamour NY lady, you know what you're talking about!! I want to go for drinks with you on a rooftop.

    Hammie: I totally hear you. It's so rough finding time together when you're not completely toast after all the responsibilities are over. Keep seeking out the little windows. They're there - you just have to figure out where they're lurking and exploit them. :-)

    Maegan: Why thank you!

    T: The crystal has never looked so good as from that vantage point. We have to go there next time we meet - I mean it's right across from CM!

  9. Oh very chic, having edamame on the roof top over-looking a very chic city..... I don't remember the last time when I properly ate with a knife and fork..
