Had breakfast at the hotel, and then off to
get gas before crossing into Canada again. Once we crossed, we parked at a
nearby lot and made our way down to the Visitor Centre for Niagara’s Fury. If I
remember correctly, we miss judged our time and we were going to be late,
again, so we had to run! I had enough running the day before that I did not
care if I made it the show or not. But, we made it just in time to be given a
poncho and walk into the theatre. I was a little worried as I had no idea that
we would be getting wet during this video. Luckily it wasn’t too bad, and it
was a pretty neat experience. You watch a short animated film, and then went
into a side room where the floor moved and you would get hit with water. It was
like you were close to the falls. After the video, we had to be at the White
Water Walk for a set time, and there was no way we could walk it, as it was a
couple miles. I mean we could have walked it if we hadn’t re-scheduled the Fury
movie so close to our time for the walk. We managed to find a bus stop that would take
us there (free bus rides with our pass…score!), and we showed up right about on
time.
After the walk we took the bus back to where the car was
parked. I had wanted to go to the Hershey Chocolate store, but I was worried
about how much time everyone would want to spend in there that I quickly
changed my mind and said we were heading right to Hamilton. Off to Hamilton we
went. The whole point of stopping in Hamilton was to go to the original Tim
Hortons restaurant. I was so excited! We ordered food and sat upstairs where
the little museum was. Of course I ordered all of the new Canada 150 donuts and
timbits. The maple timbits were my favorite! I could not get enough of them.
From Hamilton we were off to Toronto. We had to be at
Rogers Center for the tour there at 3pm. Somebody changed my plans, which
caused 3 of us to have to run for our lives to get to the tour from a parking
lot that was blocks away. We showed up 15 minutes late, and I was pissed! Super
mad. I’d get more into it, but I won’t just for the sake of not knowing who
might read this. The staff at Rogers Center were great though. They were able
to find the group we were supposed to be with and get us up to them. The tour
was really neat. I had been on the tour at Great American Ball Park here in
Cincinnati about 5 years ago, but it still was neat to see how different all
the ball parks are. I am hoping to go to St. Louis park in August. At the tour
we met up with Hollie, Mark, and his aunt and uncle who had come in from
Kingston. I was so excited to see my best friend.
After the tour we had to kill some time before we could get
in for the game that night, so we went to the pro-shop and then over to Steam
Whistle Brewery for a beer. Then we headed back across the street for the game!
I finally had a chance to see the Blue Jays play in person. We watched a lot of
their games on TV when we were growing up. Mom was a big fan, and they were one
of two Canadian teams to cheer for. I had been to a few Minnesota Twins games
growing up. Grandma J had taken me down to see them play a few times, and I do
not remember ever getting to see the Blue Jays play. Living in Northern
Kentucky and being able to go to Cincinnati Reds game is great, but the Jays
don’t play against the boys here.
