Hockey Hall of Fame

After we left the CN tower and our legs stopped shaking we got some lunch (Aidan: eat fresh; Leo: pizza; Amy & Jason: salad and chicken kabobs-still trying to stick to our diet!).

Then we went to the Hockey Hall of Fame which for a family who have never been hockey fans--it was awesome! Tonight Leo said his favorite sport was hockey. We saw the Stanley Cup and each took a shot at scoring a goal in one of the interactive game: mom scored 3 out 5 goals, the best record of the family. I'm sure that doesn't surprise anyone. Ha!!!






We also did a little shopping now that we are all Toronto sports fans. Aidan Toronto FC and Leo Toronto Maple Leafs.


After a long day we had a great meal at a Mexican Restaurant. Very good, very authentic- La Taquiza. It is a restaurant near the hotel which is about 12 miles outside the city. It's way cheaper to stay out here in Vaughan and its actually kinda nice.

Tomorrow we are taking it easy and will spend sometime at the pool relaxing before we go downtown for the Toronto FC vs Vancouver soccer match at 7pm.

Our phones don't really work here except we have free WiFi at the hotel. Thursday we plan to go to Niagara which we'll be in NY so our phones should work then!

    1. We're having a great time! It's been okay staying on the diet. The only slip ups were a 1/4 of a strawberry muffin (strawberry!), 1/2 tortilla at the Mexican restaurant (homemade) and tonight we will have a beer at the soccer match.

  2. It sounds like you guys are having a fantastic time! I'm so jealous about the weather. Enjoy every minute of your vacation! A day of sitting by the pool before the game sounds perfect :-)

    1. The weather really could not be better. It's beautiful! It's sunny, blue skies, not humid, and low 80's. We picked the perfect time to come!
