Our Trip to Canada





Michelle and I went to Canada over the weekend. It was a pretty crazy trip. We didn't leave until around 5:45 on Friday afternoon and we were with another couple from our ward who had accidentally got the directions to a different Sheraton in Toronto. So it took a while to figure out how to get to the right hotel. Once we got to our hotel though, there were two other couples from our ward also already there and we had a great time. We went to the hot tub (for some reason there are no hot tubs to be found in Syracuse anywhere) that night and again in the morning. We also got a free VIP breakfast from the hotel because someone in our group was upset that we had to pay for parking. So after that we basically went out to downtown Toronto and just walked around the city and saw some of the cool buildings there like the CN Tower (see pictures...its neat). We walked along Queen Street for a long time. It was a very interesting area with lots of people and shops and tourist attraction stuff along the way. By that I mean all the people trying to get you to give them money for the things they are doing on the sidewalk like drawing with chalk on the sidewalk or giving a puppet show or balancing rocks on top of each other, stuff like that. We came back on Saturday night pretty late, so we were in Toronto for really just one day but I think we all feel like we had enough time there. Since we were walking around downtown and the city for so long everyone was really tired and felt like they had seen it all. Obviously you could spend a lot more time in Toronto if you wanted to but we all felt like it was a nice good one day one night trip. We had a great time!
