Celebrating the first anniversary of Leslie's 29th birthday in Toronto!

Wes and I decided to go for a fun little trip to Toronto, Canada to celebrate my birthday. My birthday was on Saturday, so we went to Toronto on Friday and stayed one night and came back Saturday night. Here we were driving into the city:


Here is our hotel, the Delta Chelsea, in the middle of downtown:


I just wanted to relax, enjoy the hotel, and enjoy the city. At the top of the hotel they had an adult pool and hot tub ("adult" just meaning no kids were allowed - they had a family pool on another floor) so we enjoyed that on Friday evening for a while.





After that, we decided to venture out into the city and we walked to Chinatown which was very interesting and cool.



We just came across this cool painted map thing on the side of a building.


Here is an interesting tidbit: Canada has solid black squirrels! We have seen several of these in Niagara Falls, Canada and then we saw some here in Toronto. The crazy thing is even though Buffalo is so close to Canada, we have never seen a black squirrel here. I guess they don't like America.


We wanted to eat dinner at a unique place, so we came across O'Grady's while we were walking and decided to eat here. It was pretty good.


On Saturday we spent a lot of time at a huge indoor mall thing that was just a couple blocks from our hotel. This is just one level of four I think.


And here's the one picture we got of us together.


Downtown Toronto. Look at all the people! It's kind of like Times Square.

This was one of those crazy, cool guys that stand and look just like a statue and then they move and it's totally freaky. I love these things.

It is really cool living so close to Toronto!
