Look Way Up!


This is the CN Tower in Toronto Canada.We toured it when we visited Toronto Canada on Thursday July 29th.

We bought the tour package and got to visit all of the public levels and ride the fast elevators.

The highest level is the Sky Pod.It is at 1,465 feet.What a view of Toronto from that high high up.

The Lookout level is at 1,136 feet and finally the Glass Floor and outdoor observation level is at 1,122 feet.

We ate in their Horizon Cafe which is on the Lookout Level.We had a nice view of Toronto from our window side table.

I will post a few pictures of the different views of Toronto from high up in the CN Tower.

Enjoying Lunch at tHE Falls


Our Adventure Pass included lunch at one of their restaurants that had a nice view of The Horseshoe Falls.I took this picture from our table.Since we were a party of 5 we weren't able to get a table at the window since those tables were for parties of 4.

It was a nice lunch with a very nice view of the falls.

Horseshoe Falls Niagara Falls Canada


This is The Horseshoe Falls in Niagara Falls Canada.Took this picture on one of our adventures at the falls.We did The Adventure Pass which included four different adventures:Journey Behind The Falls;The Fury;Maid of The Mist boat ride and White Water Walk.

We loved seeing the rainbow at the falls.The rainbows were always so awe inspiring.

We did Journey Behind The Falls and The Fury the first day and Maid of the Mist the second day.We had tickets to do the White Water Walk but by the time we finished with standing in line for the boat ride then standing on the boat we were all tired and hot.We decided to take the air conditioned bus ride and enjoy some of the other sites of Niagara Falls.Our granddaughter is tiny and had a hard time keeping up with all of the walking.We averaged walking 5-6 miles each day and it was quite warm.Needless to say, we didn't want to do any additional walking and stair climbing at the White Water Walk.Besides we have seen plenty of white water since we live here in West Virginia where white water rafting is very popular.

Niagara Falls Canada Fireworks


We took a vacation to Canada last week.Spent some time in both Niagara Falls and Toronto.Should have planned more time in Toronto and less in Niagara Falls.

This picture was taken of the fireworks the Sunday evening we arrived in Niagara Falls.I took the picture from our hotel balcony.

The tall structure is the Skylon Tower.
