From Kensington Market to Hogwarts

Kensington Market was the first thing on our agenda for today.  When we arrived, we decided to grab some lunch since most of us hadn't yet eaten.   Overwhelmed by options, I elected to copy Renee and get the pastor and chorizo tacos.  I was not disappointed though I must admit that my tacos look nothing like these ones.  To quote Chris, these guys know what they're doing.
The kids then hit up every thrift shop they could find until Danica finally found something she liked in the last store we entered.   I enjoyed strolling through the Blue Banana Market store and giggling at their funny wares, as well as checking out all the murals/graffiti and art installations in the area.
After 3 hot hours in Kensington, we headed to Chinatown for an early dinner.
As it was almost show time, we ventured towards the CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre to find parking.  Then since we has about 45 minutes to spare, we wandered through Yonge-Dundas Square and some of us went to Winners while one of us sprinted through the Eaton's Centre. 
And on into the theatre we went to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.  It was magical with impressive special effects.  Danica loved it, Duncan seemed to enjoy it but less enthusiastically.  The adults were confused at the beginning but once we got into the story, we enjoyed it too.  
And that's it for Day 2....Chris and Renee dropped us back at our hotel, we said our goodbyes, they headed back home and off we went to bed...
