If you ever get a chance to go to the
CN Tower in Toronto you should go. It is the tallest building in the world right now until some other building that is getting built right now is done. It gets hit by lightening an average of 75 times a year. Samantha kept pointing to big buildings and saying is it that big and we would say put three more of them on top of it and that is how tall it is. She didn't get it until we got to the outside of the tower.
Samantha ready for our walk to the tower. We had to walk 5 blocks to the tower.
I took this picture standing at the base of the tower, it was a cloudy day. We got there around 3 pm and were excited to go to the top. It only took 58 seconds to get up to Look Out level.
At the Look Out level, 1136 feet in the air, they have a glass floor. It is 256 sq. ft. of solid glass and is 5 times stronger than the required weight bearing standard for commercial floors and can hold 14 Hippos and not break! I didn't have a problem taking pictures but I did NOT like just looking at what I was standing on.
My foot on the glass.
Samantha looking down.
Then we went up to the Sky Pod, which is at 1465 feet up. My ears popped the whole way up and down the elevator. The views all the way at the top were amazing even if it was cloudy. They said if it was a clear day we could see Niagara Falls from the top. But that is
OK we are going there in one month.
This is our hotel, the Hilton, and Samantha thought it was huge. She wanted me to take many pictures at how small it looked. She was amazed at how small everything looked all the way at the top of the tower.
Here is my angel taking pictures with her camera. She loves this camera with all the cool gadgets it has on it. I recommend it to anyone with small kids.
I love this picture of Samantha looking out a window and looking at the lake. She stayed like this for about 5 minutes before our elevator came to take us back down. I wonder what she was thinking about. We went down after this picture and had a drink at the Horizons Restaurant on the Look Out level and then all the way down to go on a Motion Theatre Ride. By the time we got out of the tower it was dark.

I have been there! But I think I was too afraid to take pictures ... you are much braver! Great shot of the tower Susan.
It is much easier through the lense of a camera. I didn't like looking through the glass floor when I wasn't taking pictures.
