November 14-15, 2009
We decided a little Orton family time was a great idea-and thought we would head up to Toronto. We mainly wanted to go to the zoo (which is HUGE!), but found some other great things to do as well. Gray loved the zoo--and he was a trooper-it took us about 5 hours to quickly see all of the zoo. There were few crowds since it was November and we actually had some beautiful weather-a little chilly here and there, but the sun came out and kept us from being too cold!! After the zoo, we checked into our hotel, went to dinner, swam in the hotel pool, and then went to bed-it is hard to put Gray to bed when he is in the same 12x12foot space as us-so we all went to bed around 8-m-which was fine after such a busy day! The next morning we got up early and headed to the CN Tower and then headed back toward our hotel to get a spot to watch the Santa Parade-the people of Toronto (Toronto-ans??) said it was just like the Macys Day Parade-it was a cool parade with some big floats, but I dont know if I would say it was like the Macys Parade. After an hour of parade watching, we decided to get on the road...we stopped at Ikea on our way home. It was a great weekend! We would love to head back up there sometime-there is an African safari north of Niagara Falls that we want to visit-so I think may try to do that next summer!
