We may not live in Seattle anymore, but if a part of Seattle is near, we will find it! A quick weekend trip found us in Toronto, Canada for a Mariners game. Hunter loved it, but Henry thought we were going to play a baseball game. You can imagine his disappointment at sitting in a chair rather than running around the field. The Mariners didn't win, but it was still fun for most of us.
Casa Loma is this beautiful castle on a hill. It was built by some guy and his wife, lost in financial ruins, and is now a public building. The day we were there they were setting up for a wedding- how cool to get married in a castle! Scenes from several movies were filmed here (Skulls, X-Men, The Pacifier, Chicago).
A trip to Toronto wouldn't be complete without a trip up the
CN Tower. A 58 second elevator ride up to the top- a glass floor and a great view for those who aren't scared of heights.
Jordan was super excited to check out the glass floor. It freaked me out. I know it was perfectly safe, but I still didn't want to stand on it.
This was our first trip without a stroller. We just weren't sure how to navigate it through the subways and tourist attractions, so my poor boys had to walk a lot. Maybe a bit too much? Oh well, nothing like a nap on the subway. All in all, we really liked Toronto. It's beautiful, clean, and you can get almost anywhere without coming above ground. They even have shopping malls underground. We liked Toronto.

I have heard a lot of good things about Toronto, and always wanted to visit. Probably never will, what with my recent realization that I HATE flying and all, so I'm glad you did the visiting for me!
I don't think I'd be first in line to stand on a glass floor either. I have a weird fear of heights and I think I would just be standing there imagining the floor falling with me on it the whole time . . . not my idea of fun!! Glad the boys enjoyed it though. Hope you all are doing well!
Sounds really fun! I love that you take so many short trips together as a family. I can't wait to see you guys when you come back to the real Seattle in a few weeks! :)
Kara,
What a great blog! You guys do so much traveling! That cruise looked amazing. Your boys are so big...Alexa will always be shrimp :) So what are your plans , if any, when Jordan is done? I left Jordan our blog address: mattandkistineuffens.blogspot.com
I can't believe how big Henry and Hunter are. They are so cute:)
How fun! I've never considered going to Toronto--you've got me thinkin' . . .
okay. so I am almost 100% positive I saw jordan walk past us in a crowd of people at the blackfoot fair on Thursday? I had to do a double take, and started following him to see if it really was when just like in the movies, a crowd came in from both sides and completely wiped him from view. Were you guys here, or am I just imagining things? I looked for you all night after that because I coulda swore it was him...
It was good to see you guys last weekend. I was hoping you could tell me more about the shore excursions/tours you did on your cruise. We are trying to decide which ones we should do. You can email me or leave me a comment on my blog. Thanks
I haven't checked blogs in a while...you guys have been busy! What fun trips and visitors!! It's fun to keep up with you!
