Toronto- Black Creek Pioneer Village and Bandit Brewery

On our last day in Toronto we went to Black Creek Pioneer Village. It showed what life was like in the middle of the 19th century in Toronto. There were heritage buildings to explore and guides dressed in period costumes. There was even a historic beer tasting.

We finished the day with a trip to the Bandit Brewery.


Toronto- Ripley's Aquarium, Steam Whistle Brewery, and Blue Jays Game

Our second day in Toronto we started off by going to Ripley's Aquarium. We loved it there. Definitely one of the best aquariums I have been to.
After the aquarium we went to Steam Whistle Brewery which was right across the street from the aquarium.
We then went to a Blue Jays game. The stadium was also across the street from both the aquarium and the brewery.
The CN tower was right next to the stadium. This was our view to the right from our seats.

Toronto- Hockey Hall of Fame

After Niagara Falls our final stop on our vacation was Toronto. We were in Toronto for three nights. Our first stop was the Hockey Hall of Fame. There were displays to look at and interactive exhibits so both Brandon and Wesley liked it there. Stu was happy to be there too. It was definitely on his list of something that he really wanted to do on our trip.

Niagara Falls, Canada

We were in Niagara Falls from July 22-24. The first thing we did after getting to our hotel was walk to see the falls.
The next day we took a boat ride into the falls which was so much fun.
Niagara Falls at night- the fireworks were great
After the boat ride we walked to Clifton Hills. Clifton Hills has rides, mini golf, fun houses, arcades, etc. It was a big hit with Brandon and Wesley.
We went to the Guiness Book of World Records there.
We also went to the Niagara Brewing Company on Clifton Hill.
Our last night in Niagara Falls we went out to dinner at the Skylon. We had to take an elevator to get to the restaurant. We had a great view of the falls while in the restaurant. A rainbow came out towards the end of dinner and stayed out for awhile.
Having fun in the hotel pool
