Family Vacation!

Hey everyone!

As some of you may know, if you keep up with my blog, I am currently in Toronto right now on a bit of a family vacation. It has been about 7 years since my family really went on what could be considered a vacation. So we arrived in Toronto on Monday and we will be staying until Friday afternoon. So this post is basically going to be about my trip so far.

So after arriving on Monday we were all tuckered out from traveling so we didn’t really do anything too exciting that day. We got settled into our Hotel, which is the Toronto Grand Hotel and Suites, and decided to go to the Eaton Centre to go get dinner and shop around for a bit. I ended up getting things, from Forever 21, Pink, and Zara. After we were done at the mall we went back to the hotel and took a little swim in the pool, watched a movie, and just relaxed the rest of the night.



Yesterday was quite a bit more exciting, we woke up quite early to get breakfast and to get ready for the rest of the day. We first went to the Ripley’s Aquarium which was simply amazing! There was so many types of fish, Manta Rays, Eels, Sharks, Sea Turtles, and Jellyfish!  There was also a section of touch tanks where you could actually touch some of the animals including Horseshoe Crabs, Whitespotted Bamboo Sharks, Brownbanded Bamboo Sharks, Southern Stingray, and Cownose Rays. It was such a cool experience and I got to say that seeing the Jellyfish was definitely my favourite part of the Aquarium. After the aquarium we went to the CN Tower which was a cool experience because I’ve never been there. Going up the elevator was interesting because there was a window where you could see yourself rising above downtown Toronto. Once we got to the top there was a section on the floor that was glass so standing on that was pretty crazy, but the craziest thing was going out onto the sky deck and walking around the outside of the tower. It was so beautiful to see all of the city from that height, but we couldn’t stay out there for too long because it was so windy that it was hard to stay standing in certain places. We soon went back to the hotel to relax a bit until it was time for dinner. For dinner we went out to this cute retro styled diner and had burgers and shakes which was pretty good, and after dinner we went to the Eaton Centre where I bought more things from Garage and Lush.



So today, we went to The Ontario Science Centre, which is a place that I haven’t to since I was a child. When we got to the Science Centre there was a bunch of schools with younger children who were yelling and screaming, so I was a bit annoyed because they we not respecting the other visitors they were just running around bumping into people without a care. I started to develop a headache and because of that I got cranky so I was not enjoying my time there. Though I did get to experience their Planetarium section which was the highlight of the day. After leaving the Science Centre we grabbed dinner to take back to the hotel where I have been the rest of the night because I still have a pounding headache. All in all so far it’s been a fantastic trip, and I am excited for what we are doing tomorrow.

I took this yesterday but If you are feeling poorly like I am today, this picture has to cheer you up!

Also, I will be doing a haul like entry of all the things that I bought while being on this trip, so That will be coming out probably on Monday, and I will also be posting a Vlog of my trip as well which will either come out next Wednesday, or the following Monday. Let me know what family trips you have taken recently, and what your favourite part of it was!


Take Care! xxx
