The Perfect Sunday Breakfast
Temperatures have been skyrocketing and there is no better way to take advantage of these warm temperatures than to visit the Sugarbush Maple Syrup Festival. I have been going to a maple syrup festival since I was a kid and have continued the tradition. (I’m now just a big kid). This weekend, Toronto will see WARM temperatures once again…so why not take a drive out of the city.
I swear, in no time at all (i.e 20 minutes with no traffic) you can be at either Kortright Centre or Bruce’s Mills Conservation area to enjoy pancakes, a nature walk, bird watching, maple syrup, and wagon rides.
Things I have learned over the years:
a) go early to avoid line ups. Seriously.
b) wear rainboots. I can assure you that it will be muddy
c) visit with an empty stomach. You don’t want to miss the opportunity to eat pancakes at these festivals (see the photo of the pancakes on the top left? do I need to explain?)
d) take advantage of the wagon rides (like I said, I’m a big kid).
e) bring a camera and take pictures of the great outdoors.
What a great way to TAP into Spring !! (I stole this line from the Toronto Regional Conservation Authority – they should get the credit).
P.S the Sugarbush Maple Syrup Festival takes place this year from March 3 to April 9th.
