#Roadtrippin: The Canadian Edition

So I didn’t get to stamp the passport on this particular trip, but the experience was one of the best I’ve had in a while.  Canada had been one of my places to visit for some time, but like most of us, I kept pushing it off, making other plans, saying it was not in the budget, completely forgetting about the idea, blah, blah, blah!  So this past summer I thought, hmmm.. there is no time like the present!  I dropped all the excuses, grabbed two of my cousins and we made the 7 hour journey to Canada!!

Now anybody that knows me knows that I LOVE black history ( I think I’ve shared this before), so the first stop on our road trip was to Auburn, New York to visit the Harriet Tubman property.  She lived here for about 30 years and the entire property is about 30 acres, she owned it all! Kudos to her! I would definitely recommend visiting this property if you can…The tour guide is super knowledgeable and the overall tour is very informative! 

After a few more hours of driving, we finally made it to Canada!  We stayed in Niagara Falls which is very beautiful and I got to see it lit up at night.  (Just take my advice and stay on the Canadian side rather than the New York side of the Falls.. you will thank me later!) 

We definitely could not visit Canada without “Running through The 6,” so the next day we headed to Toronto! While in Toronto I did one of, if not the, scariest thing in my life..Edgewalking on the famous CN Tower!  The experience was so fun but frightening at the same time.  We were literally so high up that you could see Niagara Falls, which is about an hour and a half away!  You can also look down into the stadium where the Toronto Blue Jays play and from that high up, the stadium literally looked like a saucer. If you aren’t feeling “daredevilish” enough to Edgewalk, I would definitely recommend at least visiting the CN Tower because the views are breathtaking!  Until next time…XO!
