CN Tower/Downtown Toronto Mayhem

This is the post you have all been waiting for!! Yesterday we drove from Niagara falls to downtown Toronto to see the Cn tower. The drive to the tower wasn't as bad as we thought it would be, but there are alot of jerks on the road. Apparently all the jerk drivers have Pennsylvania licence plates....little do they know we can take revenge when we drive through Pennsylvania on our trip :) When we got downtown to find a parking spot it was so busy! We parked in some separate building a few blocks away from the tower. Finally after all of that chaos we found the tower! YES! we were so excited in just a few minutes we would be 1815 ft up in the air!! well....were we wrong!! We decided to only go on the main viewing area of the tower because to get up to the highest point we would have to wait 5 hours! Just to view the glass floor and main area we had to wait about 2 hours. Great just what we love, more waiting :) So when it was finally our turn they crammed us into these elevators with some glass floor in them....very creepy. We got to the top...and we were all feeling a little queasy, but this is a must see thing in life and might as well suck it up and try to enjoy it. We walked all the way around the tower, Justin was walking as close to the middle of the tower and as far away from the windows as possible. haha chicken :) He was very brave later though, he came and stood on the glass floor! yay Justin!! I can see why he would be scared, when we were walking around the tower, some guy put his screaming baby on this little metal cage thing that was in part of the tower that leans out and is outside. Justin said ``well good luck to that kid for surviving``LOL! I guess it makes sense for him to put his kid there...hes part of those people who drop their kids from buildings (hindu, if your curious look up baby dropping on youtube its a hindu ritual). Mom didn't even try to stand on the glass floor. After we got down from the tower we went on this movie ride thing. You know, those things you sit in and the movie plays and it shakes the crap out of you to simulate whatever is playing on the screen. Anyways i really wanted to go on one at Niagara but it didn't work out, so we went on out that was included with the tower package we got.....I`m pretty sure mom wants to kill me :) the movie was 5 mins long, and we waited for an hour for the stupid thing. The reason we ended up waiting so long is because we waited 30 mins in line for the wrong thing...(fail). Then we discovered that we were in the wrong spot so that was interesting. Finally we left the tower at almost 6 pm. We were stuck in that place for 5 hours. When we got out things got even crazier! For the longest time we didn't understand why it was so busy! Then i noticed people kind of were dressed..well...lets just say interesting. We stopped at a red light and i said look! and pointed to a huge banner that said ``Gay pride festival`` haha awesome! so not only were we tiered, hot, and stuck in traffic, we were in the middle of a gay pride festival! It made for some good laughs though, we got to laugh at all the crazy outfits. I put about the gay pride thing on my status on facebook and on of my Friends asked why i didn't join. I said i wasn't properly dressed for the occasion, i wasn't willing to walk around topless wearing bright neon suspenders and knee high socks. lol. We were so relieved to get to our hotel!! Which by the way is awesome!! Thanks to Aunty Shaness or getting us this awesome place! :) love you!. Anyways we are off the Canadas wonderland today! Watch out for gay pride fesitvals!
