At least it didn't take me another 6 weeks to finish the second half of this post...
Day 2: The CNE! It has been over 7 years since we've been to the EX. M3 has never been so it's probably closer to 8 or 9 years. First we went to a neighbourhood diner for some breakfast and then hopped on the streetcar - something M2 & M3 have never done! For me the EX seemed smaller than I remembered - maybe it's just me getting older? The kids enjoyed the carnival rides and games and then of course more food! However, we aren't the daring type of family who'll try all the latest novelty items - pretty much stuck to the corn dogs, fried onion blooms, pulled pork sandwiches, and slushies. We didn't stay to dark and just picked up some sandwiches on the way back to the hotel. Why? Because M1 just HAD to make it back to the hotel to watch SYTYCD.
Day 3: We headed down to the St Lawrence Market first thing in the morning (well, it was actually closer to 11:00 but hey we're on vacation!) for some freshly baked goods, lobster rolls, and fancy crepes. The afternoon was spent shopping as we headed back to the hotel to get ready for dinner. Our evening ended with a "fancy" dinner at the CN Tower restaurant (http://www.cntower.ca/en-ca/360-restaurant/overview.html).
I know my children would love to vacation in exotic countries, fancy resorts, or luxury cruise ships (who wouldn't?) like many of their friends or cousins. Unfortunately it isn't possible right now. But I also know my children understand that it's not about how much money we spend travelling or whether we take a plane or a ship to make wonderful memories. Besides, I've always said the best thing about a vacation is coming home!
