I took my maternity leave in early September. At that time, I decided to book tickets for the THREE of us to visit family in Toronto. This would be Parker's first plane ride and her first trip to another country. Clinton and I are pleased to report she did great. This of course is the first of many plane trips to many countries. This trip was especially important to me as I would be introducing Parker Anne to her Great Grandma, Aunt Maureen, Uncle Michael and cousins Ilana and Jordan. Bubie is not only "great" by title, but actually a great person as well.
Anyhow, we spent 4 nights in Toronto and took Parker all around the city. We went to the Greek district for dinner, Eaton center, and Unionville. On the first day in Toronto, we went with Bubie and Ilana to Old Navy for Parker's first major shopping trip (thanks Bubie, Ilana, and Poinciana Elementary School staff). The next day, we went downtown and Aunt Maureen and Uncle Michael bought Parker Anne a backpack for her to sit in for our travels. We will be officially breaking it in this summer on a trip to Bar Harbor, Maine to visit more family and a return trip to Toronto. Parker will be just over a year old at that time.
Thanks so much, Micheal and Maureen for having us! Also, the backpack will be well used.
On our way back, we spent some time in Niagara Falls. This was Parker's first official tourist trap! Make sure you check out the photos under C & J Vacations, Toronto 2006. Til next time.

Jules, Parker and Clinton,
We are so glad you all had a great time with Bubie and rest of family in Toronto. How is our grandaughter? We miss you all and send our love and kisses. Did you get pics of Bubie and Parker together? Love to see them.

I love this picture...I'll never forget the feeling that I had in my heart when I first layed eyes on my beautiful great-grandaughter when you all got off the elevator the night that you arrived in Toronto...tell Parker that I love her!!....Love ya'...Bubie xoxox
Saw your blog. It was great to read it and see your pictures. We loved having you and look so forward to having you again esp Parker Anne. When I was looking at our vacation pictures this summer we had more pictures of Parker Anne than our vacation, that is because we love her to bits.
Love Aunt Maureen and Michael of course.
