The CN Tower

 

If you are in Toronto, you must do the touristy thing and go up to the top of the CN tower.  When my aunt was here, we did a few touristy things, including the CN tower.  If you are scared of heights, I wouldn’t recommend it.  Otherwise, it’s a spectacular view from the top that you should definitely see.  We have the great convenience of being just a short walk away from everything, including the CN tower and fortunately during the walk there, Josh fell asleep.  By the time we were ready to go up, he was sleeping soundly. 

                                   

Since we moved here, Josh has been obsessed with the CN tower, looking for it wherever we are.  I think part of it is that it’s a comfort for him because if he can see it, he knows that he is not far from our apartment.  However, for the days preceding our CN tower visit, Josh was adamant that he was only going to look at the CN tower from outside; he was not going to go up it.  He is one to stick to his guns so I knew that no amount of bribery would convince him to get into that elevator.  Thankfully, the power of sleep solved all of our problems.  Owen on the other hand was fearless as always and was raring to go; he would have probably stood on top of the tower if he could.

Josh did wake up eventually when we were at the top and we were able to convince him to go outside for a few minutes.  He thought it was very cool to see our apartment and all the teeny tiny buildings, cars and boats below.

(Our apartment is almost directly in line with the ferry crossing the water)

It was amazing seeing all of Toronto and to realize how massive a city it is.  You can even see in to the Rogers Centre (where the Blue Jays play baseball).  It was also quite neat to see our apartment building from the tower.  Not many people can say that they saw their house from the top of the CN tower!
