Thursday night, we headed to Canfield. Arrived, chatted, and attempted to go to bed early. Friday morning, up at 4:30am, and out the door an hour later and headed for Toronto. About 5 hour drive, with a stop fora stretch, some fuel, and a change into the wedding clothing. Arrived,and enjoyed the ceremony, then back to check into the hotel for a much needed nap. Some lunch, and the refreshed nap, we then changed and went to the reception. That was about from 8pm to 11pm.

Saturday we slept in, had a great breakfast in a nice downtown area of Toronto called Eaton, and then began our way out to Mosport to enjoy the weekends hosting of the American Lemans Series. The track is east of Toronto in the rolling hills. The venue allows for camping ANYWHERE. The roads to find good places to watch the cars on track are single lane dirt with the occasional mud pit. We attempted some driving to some locations only to turn around in brush piles and head back, with full articulation of the car's suspension, and trusting the all wheel drive that we'd not get stuck.

Saturday's racing was good action, and lots of pix. After the track was quiet, we followed our GPS signal to tell us to take a road which was unpaved. Real rally action in the Subaru! This took us out to the highway, and on to a nice restaurant close by that promised a 15%discount for race ticket holders. Nice place with pretty good food.Upon our check our server thought we worked at the track, and she brought the manager over. He asked about the track, and the events,which rolled into small talk of us being from Columbus Ohio, and him being a HUGE fan of Columbus' hockey team, the Blue Jackets. I held my own talking about hockey with a Canadian, and we were rewarded by this guys enthusiasm by him giving us $20 in gift cards and a free appetiser and the manager telling us to make sure we come back the next day. Saturday we finished with a visit to downtown Toronto to view the skyline illuminated and just cruise around.

Sunday we headed back to the track and enjoyed morning warm ups and cruising around the pits and paddock. We opted for the lunch break And pre-race non-track action with a return trip to our previous day's restaurant. After all, it was free! Again, great lunch, but lackluster service this time, happily it was free, and our jovial manager was back in action. We returned to the race track just in time to park on the hill side, and plopped down in the temporary grandstands that viewed some of the great action on the track. A great race with changing conditions as it would be warm and sunny, then instantly,cold and drizzle. Our umbrella got a work out.

Post race, we cruised right by Toronto and headed down towards Niagara. About a two hour drive, and made our way to dinner, and at10pm watched fireworks shoot our across the falls from our hotel's overlooking terrace. Monday we took lots of pix, and went on the world famous "Maid of the Mist" boat right that takes you right up to the face of the falls, and a nice soaking spray. We toured the touristy areas around the Canadian side and headed back to the hotel to head home. An easy pass back into America, as it's side of the falls is more of a state park, than a 3-D ride, casino laden Canadian side.

Cruised to Canton were we met my parents for dinner. They celebrated their anniversary. We enjoyed dinner and were back home by 9. Per a conversation with my Dad at dinner, sure enough the beginning of the race we attended in Canada, we were there, plopped in the grandstands,watching the racing action. Pretty cool.
