Our first stop was Toronto. On the trip up I realized it\u2019s been three years since I last visited Canada, and many more since TO. The downtown area is all built up with apartments now. But it\u2019s good to know that Q107 is still rockin\u2019 the airwaves from the top of the CN Tower. Emotional feedback on timeless wavelengths.<\/p>\n
We visited the Ontario Science Center. I\u2019d been there once as a kid and again in college and remembered it as a very cool place that the kids might enjoy. Of course back then it was just about the only hands-on museum of its kind. Now there\u2019s the Exploratorium in San Francisco and the New York Hall of Science in Queens. Still the Ontario Science Center stacked up well, with exhibits on space and physics and other cool stuff. And a great live exhibit about reptiles, which Lizzy especially loved. We also saw the Imax movie Under the Sea. This was a big, old-fashioned Imax with the nine-storey tall 180 degree screen, and it was pretty impressive. Lots of weird fish, squid, cuttlefish, nautilus, sharks and even some seals. I\u2019d been interested in folding origami cephalopods (squid, cuttlefish, and nautilus) and feel I now have a good sense of how they look and move. And, I got a cool wind-up dancing robot in the gift shop.<\/p>\n
We spent the evening downtown on the waterfront, walking around after a fantastic seafood dinner. Touched the base of the CN Tower and looked up, seein\u2019 tower. Briefly snuck into the 12th inning of a Blue Jays game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
