CN Tower

One of the world's tallest buildings. When mom and I went to Lake Ontario, I saw this tower across the lake- it's hard to miss as it 'towers' above everything else, but then didn't think about it again with everything else going on. Daniel arrived on a Saturday evening, but it rained Sunday and we didn't do much.

When his first full weekend arrived- my second- my thoughts were on exploring this city I temporarily called home. I wanted to hit the highlights...like the places that "you'd be crazy to miss if you visited Toronto." You know, the must sees. Niagara Falls was a given. One day while conversing with the landlord's wife, she said what about the CN Tower? You have to go there. And so we did. Our perfect day was spent in Niagara so we faced a rainy, foggy view from the tower, but better to be inside during such weather anyway.

stopped at Union Station for lunch and Daniel had to have a picture of this
pigeon inside! I will never understand that man's fascination with pigeons :)

Maggie is letting down her hair...that's right, this is Rapunzel's tower :)

the outdoor portion of the tower- boy was it chilly out there! 

the glass floor...can you see all the way down?

We had a great day visiting the CN Tower! I love the picture above of Jake looking down, no doubt wondering what he was looking at. We had a delicious dinner downtown too- just down the street from the tower- mexican and pizza were right next to each other. Daniel got a burrito, me tacos and the kids shared a pizza. They were two great finds. We didn't wander downtown as much as Daniel would've liked, but we did walk it some and what we saw was very nice, not even the rain got us down. :)
