I have thought about visiting many times, however, it is outside of my comfort zone; I rarely venture north of Queen St. and when I do, I try to stay south of Bloor.

You mean it all gets tougher with kids My photography will suffer more!

Actually, I travel for work on a reasonably frequent basis. By the time everything is done, it is usually dark and I find spending an hour or two taking pictures before retiring for the night quite relaxing.

Time to get out of your comfort zone. I visited Toronto for the APUG Conference in 2006, and loved the city, loved the atmosphere, loved the local APUG members (Uncle Bill took a lot of his personal time to show me around the city), and found the crew at Elevator fantistic. That one expericence is enough to make me want to visit there again. Great city.
