On August 15th, we left Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and drove across the bridge into Sault Ste. Marie, Canada on our way to Toronto Canada. It was much easier to get into Canada then we expected. The drive was quite long with a lot of rain. We stayed our first night in a campground north of Toronto. It was the only one we could find that had availability but it was very expensive, $90 Canadian. The next day we moved to a CG on the west side of town that was less than half the cost and much nicer. On August 17th, we drove to downtown Toronto. We went to the CN Tower – over 1400’ high– tallest structure in the world. We went up to the Skypod at the top and looked around. We then went to the level with the glass floor that you can look all the way down. We had lunch at the “360 Restaurant” at the top of the CNN Tower – a restaurant that rotates 360 degrees in a little over one hour. The food was amazing and very expensive but the view was spectacular. The kids really enjoyed it. Andrew loved how fancy the food was. We toured the Royal Ontario Museum. We had dinner at the Hard Rock Café. On August 18th, we again drove to downtown Toronto. We took the subway to Casa Loma, one of the first and oldest mansions in Toronto. We got back on the subway and went to the Parliament Building and took a tour of the Parliament. Toronto is the Capitol of Ontario so we had to again visit the capitol. We got back on the subway and went to Rogers Center to watch the Toronto Blue Jays play the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox is Daniel’s favorite team. He was quite excited. Before the game, Daniel and Andrew were able to get the autograph of one of the Red Sox players on their baseball gloves. One of the players on the field gave Rachel the baseball he was throwing and signed it for her. The stadium is right next to the CNN Tower. It was so cool to see the Tower from our seats. The Red Sox won the game and we saw Big Papi hit a homerun.
