The Eagle is Landing- in a week

My MUM is coming! In one week tomorrow!!

I'm pretty excited- there is so much to do! We are thinking Pioneer Black Creek Village, the Rom, I'm trying to convince to come look at art with me at the AGO (don't think she'll go for it though, but it's David! Degas! Delacroix!!!).

I need to get ready: clean things, maybe buy some food to have in the house, book a zipcar to get to the airport, ummm what else? What other things should I be doing? Put sheets on my bed?

What do you do when your parent(s) are coming to visit? Any good places in the city we should check out? Mum likes a good knit cafe and/or wool shop. We're not very keen on doing the touristy things. Any good day trips one can think of?
