On Memorial Day Weekend 1998, I took my Brother Kyle up to Canada to see the Cleveland Indians take on the Toronto Blue Jays in an afternoon game at SkyDome.  Getting an early 8:00am start, we made it to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls by 11:30.  Wandered around this popular attraction, we thought it strange to feel water mist hitting our skin despite the sunny, cloudless, 75 degree skies.  After taking many cool pictures, we headed up the QEW to Toronto for the game.  However, we were quite early - by about 2 hours - so Kyle and I went high above the city in CN Tower.  The tallest structure in North America provided an incredible view of the city and Lake Ontario, as well as SkyDome - which we could view from the nervously clear glass floors in the Tower.  I am not afraid of heights, but your brain does lose it a little when walking over the floor panels - despite the 10" thickness of the glass.  Anyway, we had lunch at the sports bar in SkyDome, took in the game (a loss) and drove back to Cleveland before the midnight hour struck.  What a great day!  Check out my pictures by clicking on the thumbnails below.
