What an amazing weekend! With an early start at 8:45am on Saturday morning, we were up and ready to go, we stopped at Tim's along the high way for breakfast then continued on to the city of Toronto. Although this time would not be like any of the other times we had been, the events ahead of us where nothing like what we were expecting. We arrived and spent a few minutes souvenir shopping before heading on to the CN Tower. Sophie, Jane and Suzanne ventured off to the Habour while Savannah and I braved the CN Tower which is 553m tall and gives you a scenic view of Toronto. We spent two hours up the top of the tower taking pictures of the view, standing on the glass floor and just enjoying the experience. We had photos taken which they then edited to make seem as if I had been falling off the Tower, and photos with the view out behind us. Before we knew it, it was time to go back down, for we had many other different things to do and see.

We then decided to head over to the St Lawrenece markets for lunch, but we got distracted a couple of times, we first did a quick stop off at a famous hotel which Suzanne's uncle use to manage and where he had met and hosted the Queen we then thought we would go and have a peak in the Hockey Hall of fame, but then ended up having lunch at Rich Tree which is right above it. Once we had finished eating we went down to the entrance of the Hockey Hall and took some pictures before heading into the gift shop and buying a few things, we did not go into the hall of fame because Suzanne felt that we would have gotten bored after a while, so instead we pressed on but only again to be distracted. We stopped briefly at the 'Flat Iron building' before finally heading on to the markets. We spent half an hour in the markets and we all felt like that was plenty of time, so we got back in the car and went for a drive around the streets of Toronto. We did a quick drive around in the city, looking where the stars stayed and all the expensive stores on Bloor St. where. They then took us to Bridal Path Drive where all the mansions in Toronto are, and supposedly where a lot of famous sportsmen/women and actors live.

Most of the houses you couldn't even call a house because they were so abnormally big, and then you also have to consider the fact that only four (If that!) people live in them! Once we had had enough of dream/wishing we had houses like that we started the drive home. Savannah slept the whole entire drive home, while Sophie and I cranked up the music in the back seat. Before we knew it we were back in Cobourg and hiring a movie for the night. We ended up choosing Marley and Me because we had been told it was such a good movie and wanted to experience it for ourselves. Finally we headed back to the house where we could unpacked after a busy, tiring fun filled day and spend some time on our laptops replying to emails and things before dinner. We had lasagna, and it was probably the best I have ever had, it was amazing! We cleaned our dishes and headed down stairs to begin watching Marley and Me, but we were unsuccessful at working the Xbox and ended up moving upstairs to watch it. It was a really good movie and it had all three of us sniffling by the end of it. We then headed back down to the kitchen where we had brownies, raspberries and pinapple for dessert before spending the next three hours in an extremely long 'Deep and Meaningful' conversation until 2:00am the next morning. We then managed to drag ourselves upstairs and crash in bed for the night.

When we woke later that morning at 9:00am we were served a wonderful breakfast of pancakes and bacon. Later we were saying goodbye to Sophie as she was heading off to watch a Blue Jay's game in Toronto later that day. Savannah and I then spent some time on the internet before we took to the town of Cobourg for some souvenir and window shopping (There wasn't a lot open due to the fact that it was Sunday.) Once we had walked down the main street and back again we decided we had had enough and went back to the house, where we spent the next two hours relaxing in the Pollard's hot tub. It was awesome! The wind was blowing around us but we couldn't care less due to the fact we were so warm and relaxed. We soon felt that we were wrinkly enough and got out into big comfortable clothes which we lounged around in infront of the television watching 'So you think you can Dance?' while taking the occasional Nana Nap. Next thing we knew it was dinner time and we were packing all our stuff again to go back to school. We had our dinner and said our thank you's and good byes. We had had such an amazing weekend, which was fun-filled the whole entire time! We were so thankful for the Pollard's hospitality and their enthusiasm towards showing us the city of Toronto and the little town of Cobourg. We had such a good time, it will always be remembered as a great weekend and we will always have them in our hearts.
