Hey guys, sorry i haven't been very active here lately, I've been quite busy this month. So many of the topics here are back logged, so i'm just going to combine everything together haha.
Have any of you seen Toronto at night time? As boring as it is here, i have to admit, the night view is pretty awesome. The boyfriend took me to a Toronto Harbor Cruise on the "Mariposa" line. That day they were having their romance night theme thingy. Awww it was sweet. They served us a buffet style dinner, desserts and coffee and tea. There were romance songs playing all throughout the 3 hour cruise and there was dancing on the upper floor. The only downside to that day was that is was quite chilly, so we didn't go outside to look at the views as often as we should have, and that leading to me missing out on a lot of nice pictures.

this part of downtown is actually quite nice |

The staff also gave all the ladies a rose <3 |
This month we had also went Tree Top Trekking which was quite a long drive from where we live. About a 2.5 hour drive, close to blue mountain at Horseshoe Valley. Like Blue Mountain, they have a snowboarding/skiing in the winter including tubing. I've never came here for winter activities before it it looks really nice in the summer with the green green grass.
Tree trekking is a series of obstacles and activities above ground and all built on trees. There are many sets and the point is to get from point A to Point B.
There are single wires you can try to walk across, zip lines, suspended barrels you need to crawl through, ladders etc. It just gets harder and scarier. I came here all for the zip lines and i was so excited until... CATERPILLARS!!! They were everywhere, those small furry scary bugs were all of the place! On the ground, on the ladders, on the boards, trees....EVERYWHERE! I was getting quite displeased with all these insects, and i didn't have gloves so we didn't manage to finish all the obstacles, and we left early. This resort also has camping, rock climbing, pure zip lining, golfing and many other activities. I guess i'm not really an out door type gal.

Oh i saw this cute little yellow car on the way back home. it's so tiny and short, i wonder how the driver can see whats in front of him |
This past weekend the boyfriend and i had crossed the border to Buffalo, NY for some shopping and i just came back yesterday night. We were there for 2.5 days and we stayed at a hotel at Buffalo Downtown. We went to a few malls like Fashion outlet, and a few strips and department stores like Target. We even drove all the way to Rochester, NY to go to East view Mall, and Boulevard Mall. Our hotel was actually were close to Walden Galleria, but we didn't have enough time to stop by there since we only had 2 full days.
