I thought I would share some photos from our little trip to the CN Tower. I have been there several times but this was Bailey's first. She was excited. Now, for anyone who is not familiar...the CN Tower is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. That's about 45 minutes from where I live. It is the World's Tallest Building and Free-Standing Structure (we Canadians are very proud of that!).
It"s height is 1815'5". There are two "pods" that you can visit...(the elevator is awesome) the Sky Pod, at a height of 147 stories, and down from that at 114 stories...the Look Out Level. But the ultimate at 113 stories (not for the faint of heart) is the Glass Floor Level! Sooooo Cool!!!!!! Seriously, even I got a little unsettled at first. It was difficult get a good photo, all I had was my cell phone camera and I didn't want to take up too much time on the floor.
This was not added until 1994 so this is the first time I've had this experience. It was really neat!
On a clear day, you can see the USA, but there aren't very many clear days in Toronto anymore and this was no exception. You can, however, see all of the city and everything looks so small! Bailey liked that the people look like ants and the cars look just like toys.
This is Sky Dome. Ya...I know it's called the Rogers Center now...but to most of us it will always be SKY DOME!!!! C'mon it's a dome and it opens to the sky...make sense. Besides, there was a contest along time ago to name the damn thing and this was the name chosen by the people of Canada. Anyway, it's a fun place to see a game or concert. Too bad the top was closed this day.
Well, it was a fun day and Bay got to learn some Canadian History. Oh and I forgot to mention that Mike used to do some work for one of the architects responsible for this amazing piece of work. I think that's kind of cool.

Very cool. However, I NEVER would have been able to stand on that glass floor thingy. I have this thing with heights - hate 'em. Ugh. Even your pic creeped me out a little, lol. You are one brave girl.
ditto - kerry said it for me!
