Upstate NY and Toronto

Since the kids had the week of Thanksgiving off from school, we decided to travel up to Toronto to spend a few days doing touristy things, with a few fun stops along the way.  Trip highlights included:

  • Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge
  • Chimney Bluffs State Park
  • Niagra Falls, Canada -- viewed during the day and at night
  • Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museum in Niagra Falls 
  • Ripley's Aquarium in Toronto
  • CN Tower
  • Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) with an exhibit by KAWS
  • Lots of delicious restaurants -- e.g., Chef's Corner, Polish breakfast, Thai lunch
  • Three nights in a cute Airbnb in Leslieville (Old Torono), near great restaurants, a terrific grocery store, and Tommy Thompson Park
  • Tons of time in the car together -- James was a great navigator; Alma was in charge of snacks
While we missed Josh, who had to stay home for school days and parent-teacher conferences, it was SUCH a fun trip. We are great traveling companions and kept marveling at how easy the trip was because we were all so invested in having a great time and supporting each other.
