TorontOh, Canada!

After Niagara Falls we headed to a cute little town called Niagara-on-the-lake (a recommendation of the concierge) for a picture perfect picnic next to Lake Ontario

Just too cute!

 And in trying to get out of the town and onto Toronto (remember we had no map) we bumped into Fort George.  When I saw the uniforms and heard the drums I told Jake we had to go inside...Tommy heaven!  He loved it!  This was definitely one of his favorite parts of our entire trip.

 Watching the musket demonstration

Atop the CN tower.  It was the world's tallest tower back when it was built in the 1970 up until just a few years ago.  It is still the tallest free standing structure in the western hemisphere.  They know it and take pride in it too...it was ridiculous how much it cost to ride the elevator to the top of this thing.  But, what else are we going to do in Toronto?

 The glass floor

 What I see when I look down ;)

 The hockey hall of fame was closed when we walked by, but a picture was good enough for me

 Toronto is A LOT like New York City.  They even have their own little Time's Square.

 Another great hotel pool.  Except this one was freezing!  Tommy has mastered his float.

 We took a very unexpected LONG walk to find the ferry that took us out to this island (can't remember the name).  It reminded us a lot of the ferry out to Governor's Island in NYC.  This island was pretty great, no cars, a little amusement park, playgrounds, a beach, etc.  We could have definitely spent more time here but there were more places to go, things to do.

 Getting out of Toronto was a headache!  We thought we would be going opposite of traffic with an upcoming Indy car race but we were stuck in heavy traffic for a good two hours.  The kids watched a movie through it and when it was over Tommy says, "Okay, are we in New Jersey?"  Oh boy, not even close.

Jake and I were both very relieved when we made it back to America.
