Jackie and I took a vacation this weekend. We went to Toronto, with no real plans other than to bum around and go to the Blue Jays game. We ended up going to the game, going up the CN Tower, walking around downtown Toronto, and hitting the African Lion Safari on the way home.
Some pictures:
Jackie got us really good seats for the game. We were in the upper deck, right above home plate. You could see everything, and I got some really cool shots with my new camera.
I got to conquer more of my fear of heights by going up the CN Tower. I wouldn’t walk on the glass floor, but I went up there and that’s a huge accomplishment for me. When I was there back in Junior High or High School I refused to go up, and waited at the bottom while my family went up to look around. Jackie tried to get me to go on the glass, and I did .. two steps, holding my breath, eyes closed. I’m a wimp. Whatever.
The Lion Safari was awesome; basically they let you drive through and there are separate areas for different animals. The monkey area was the funniest .. they climb all over the cars and hang on while you drive through. There was a guy in a Lexus SUV who had one sitting on his mirror, and all of a sudden it just started urinating all over. It wasn’t a small stream either, it was like someone tossed a bucket of urine all over the guys Lexus. He started yelling, beating his window, honking his horn. I couldn’t help but laugh — they warned you when you came in that the monkeys climb all over. One monkey climbed up into my truck, and he had the dirtiest rear end ever .. I had to wash my truck when I got home, just so I didn’t forget and accidentally touch some monkey poo.
I had so much fun .. too bad what little time we had flew by so fast.
