The First Stop! Toronto ON

Hey again guys! Today is my first stop, Toronto, Ontario. Because it took us (mostly my sister) so long to get packed, we didn't arrive in Toronto until late last night, around 10 or 11 pm. This morning we got up around 9:30 or 10 am. My dad, my sister, my aunt, my cousin, and I all went to a nice restaurant for breakfast. It was called Sunny Morning and it was near Yonge and St. Clair St in downtown Toronto.

After breakfast, we all went to see the tallest building in Canada, the CN Tower. There is this nice little lemonade stand there so we all had some lemonade. After the CN Tower we went for lunch at Caplansky's Delicatessen, which is located at 356 College St. This place has phenomenal smoked meat, the best I have ever had.

Then we went to Rogers Centre to watch a Jays game. And guess what? They won! After our long day, we just went back to my aunt's apartment and had dinner there, because we had been eating out all day. Tomorrow we will be heading out of Toronto and into the U.S.

So long for now

The Juicy Details about My Road Trip Across Canada

Hey AWESOME and loyal fans of Lucas' Awesome Road Trip Across Canada!

I made this blog for a reason: to post about my trip across Canada! My sister, Kiah, is tree planting out in BC and Alberta. She'll be in Vancouver on July 13-14, and I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to find out more about my country, Canada.

I will be travelling with my father. My other sister, Aisha, be joining us for part of the trip. We will be driving a super awesome, metallic red Range Rover Autobiography, which I just got for my birthday! (Thanks, Mom!) This vehicle gets good mileage and will be a comfortable ride.

We will be leaving right after school ends, on June 30th. The trip should take us about two weeks, and along the way, we will be making many interesting and exciting stops.

When I was looking on Google Maps, I noticed that to travel between Toronto and Winnipeg, it was showing that I should go through the U.S. The area of the U.S. I was going to go through was right near Chicago! I dragged the route so that I would go through Chicago so I could stop and see the set of my favorite T.V. shows - Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. I will also go to Banff AB and do some hiking! I will then go to Vancouver which I don't yet know what I will do there.

Feel free to follow us on our journey as we travel from Ottawa to Vancouver in two weeks.

This is the car that I will be driving in. It is a 2013 Range Rover Autobiography
