In Toronto

After Niagara Falls, we went up to Toronto.  We didn't end up getting to do as many things as we had hoped (between some things being closed still from the winter, and all of us (& especially Julia) being tired, we couldn't do quite as much as we had planned.

We did walk about 9 miles one of the days we were there (Chloe & Gracie walked all that way too).  We got to walk along the Harbourfront of Lake Ontario, rode subways, and did lots of walking between our hotel, the CN Tower, and a Tex-mex place that we found a few blocks away that we just had to go to...
We went up into the CN Tower...
 
They have a really cool glass floor up on the observation level that you can stand on and look down the leg of the tower to the ground far, far below. 
 
Julia walked right across the glass at first, but then looked down and realized how high she was, and then she wasn't so sure about standing on there anymore.
 
We also went to the Toronto Zoo.  A lot of the exhibits were still closed for the winter, but we got to see some of the important animals, like giraffes (which are Chloe's favorite land animal...her favorite sea animal is a dolphin, and her favorite farm animal is a horse...)
 
 
 
Here are Chloe and Gracie asleep in the hotel the last night we were in Toronto.  They were so exhausted by that last night that they went right to sleep, and when we looked over at them, we noticed that they were holding hands...  Such sweet sisters.  They really do love each other...most of the time!!
