Well, Fall has approached and is rapidly turning into winter. We went from 80 degrees in the middle of October to more seasonable weather now that its November. At least my plants will stop being confused and actually try to go dormant!
Nate and I have been keeping busy. At the end of September , Nate and I celebrated our one year anniversary. We took a trip around western NY and also into Ontario to Toronto. We started our trip camping in Letchworth State Park. It was the first time that our dog, Max had been camping. As you can see, he really enjoyed himself. He managed to not burn himself in the campfire and he c
arried his own pack on the trails! Good Dog!
We also went to Rochester (which is a very cool city) where we visited the Seneca Zoo and then we traversed the border into the Great White North. We made a pit stop at Niagara Falls before headed to Toronto. We camped at this great park - Bronte Provincial Park outside of Toronto - it was empty and so clean and they had an awesome system of trails and an off-leash area for dogs. We ran into a very nice native who let her dog play with (or be herded by) Max. Everyone had lots of fun. We were visited during the night by the Canadian striped bear. It tried to get into our cooler and it ate Max's dog food which we foolishly left out.
If we are ever back there, we will be sure to go camping there again.
Toronto was nice - clean for such a large city. We ate lunch on top of the CN tower which has a rotating restaurant. THe food was great and the view was spectacular. It took a little getting used to - Sit and spin, indeed. We also took in the Hockey Hall of Fame and got our hands on the vaunted Stanley Cup! And I even got to try what it feels like to be a goalie - its harder than I make it look, I assure you!
Over all it was a very good vacation, for Nate and me and even for Max. Of course, we couldn't be on vacation for ever - the cats wouldn't let us! So we are back to NY. We got our new XV95 Trane furnace installed (woo hoo!) so we even have heat now. Well, well write more about the house later - for now, I'm going to reminisce about vacaion :)
