CN Tower

The view from the top of the CN Tower is amazing!! We were also quite lucky as it has been rainy in the mornings, and this day was bright and sunny with great visibility!! This is the view to the west and Lake Ontario. You can see two of the major arteries, the Gardiner expressway and the QEW. The traffic in this town is unbelievable! Anytime, everywhere, there is tons of traffic. I don't think I could live here just because of that. On the day we came in with the trailer, we were going along the 401 and trying to change lanes (which is itself an amazing feat!). A car was leaving us a space, and we were half way into the lane, when this woman came zipping in from the other side. Her head was just out my window and it was only due to David's great driving that she was not smushed into the side of our truck! That was not a great beginning to our time here. It is so much easier driving around without the trailer, but still not very stress-free. Laura does not have a GPS in her rental car, so trying to drive around Toronto, in the dark, in a thunder storm, while trying to text directions to her with Taylor reading them in the back seat, as to exits and roads leaving downtown made for a few interesting drives!!

The group photo is on the outdoor observation

level which goes all the way around the tower. It would be good to have the point of interest map to look at so that those of us not familiar with the skyline could pick out landmarks. Again, it was very busy here, and we decided not to do the upper viewing pod as it was another hour wait just to get up to it.

The kids did the 3D ride at the bottom of the tower and said it was really good.
